Chris Olave, WR, New Orleans Saints

When healthy, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has shown considerable fantasy upside—the former Ohio State star surpassed 70 receptions and 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons.

Unfortunately, Olave has also suffered multiple concussions—one each in 2022 and 2023 and two during a massively disappointing 2024 season. Now, however, Olave is healthy, and he told reporters that while sitting last year was challenging, he’s far more excited about the future than worried about it.

"It was tough, man, at first; I ain't never really sat out that long. That was really my first major injury. Just not being able to go and practice and go to meetings with my guys was the worst part, but I feel like I'm ready. I was training and lifting and everything in December. So, I feel like I'm good. They said I was OK back in December when they cleared me. It was just unlucky situations I was being put in. God's got me at the end of the day. I'm not worried about nothing. So, just got to go out there 100% and be ready."

Seeing a healthy Olave on the practice field at OTAs is undoubtedly welcome news for a Saints team that isn’t exactly overflowing with passing-game weapons. But it should also be welcome news to fantasy managers—after last season’s letdown, Olave is being drafted at the back end of WR3 territory on average.

Even with the Saints’ massive question marks under center, a healthy Olave will substantially outperform that modest asking price.

After all, the Saints will probably be playing quite a bit of catch-up this year.
