News: 5 hours agoOlave caught four of six targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys.

Spin: He added seven yards on one carry. Olave was more involved in the Saints' passing game that he had been in the team's opener, leading New Orleans in targets Sunday, but he didn't have much to do in the second half after helping build a 35-16 lead heading into intermission. Olave has taken a back seat to Rashid Shaheed so far in 2024, but he could break out against a mostly inexperienced Eagles secondary in Week 3.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Olave is entering his third NFL season after posting a pair of top-25 fantasy campaigns in his his first two campaigns. The 24 year old saw a boost in targets, receptions, yardage and touchdowns in his second season, finishing top 20 among receivers in all but the latter category. The Saints didn't add any significant target competition for Olave, which means he's a near lock to continue handling a massive workload. More usage near the goal line would get Olave to the next level (14 career end zone targets), but he's a good bet for another 80-catch, 1,000-plus yard season and thus makes for a fringe WR1.
