Chris Olave Week 4 Outlook - Saints at Falcons

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Sep 27th 2024, 7:05pm EDT

Olave is in real danger of missing Week 4. He sustained a hamstring injury during Friday’s practice. If Olave is out, which is looking likely, I would begin exploring a backup plan for your lineups. Injuries sustained late in the week are tough for many players to overcome and still suit up. Olave is the WR29 in fantasy points per game, commanding a 21.5% target share, a 29.7% air-yard share, and a 26.1% first read-share while producing 3.12 YPRR. Among 94 qualifying receivers, Olave ranks third in separation and second in route win rate. He remains one of the best route runners in the NFL. Olave has the only end zone target among the wide receivers. The Falcons have the sixth-highest rate of single-high (60.7%). Olave leads the team with a 26.3% target share, 3.44 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share against single-high. Olave will run about 78% of his routes against A.J. Terrell (84.6% catch rate and 102.2 passer rating) and Mike Hughes (62.5% catch rate and 83.9 passer rating). Atlanta has allowed the ninth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
