Chris Olave Week 3 Outlook - Eagles at Saints

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week is how I expect the Saints' passing offense to function weekly, with Olave leading the way. In Week 1, Olave had to deal with Jaycee Horn on over half of his routes, which pushed volume in Rashid Shaheed's direction. Last week, Olave led the team with a 37.5% target share and 57% air-yard share while tying Shaheed with a 33% first read share and crush with 6.23 YPRR. The Eagles have the sixth-highest rate of single high this season (63.2%). Among 77 qualifying wide receivers against single high, Olave is 11th in separation and ninth in route win rate. Olave will run about 83% of his routes against Darius Slay (100% catch rate and 146.5 passer rating) and Quinyon Mitchell (58.3% catch rate and 91.3 passer rating).
