| Ellis Johnson True North Fantasy Football | I honestly don't have as much faith as the community in the Cleveland QB bouncing back. Even though Cooper showed he can succeed with various QBs, the team has added more target competition. This offseason they brought in Elijah Moore and Cedrick Tillman to add to Donovan Peoples-Jones and David Njoku. As I result, there are too many questions for me to confidently select Cooper any higher. | I have seen Olave ranked everywhere from in people's top-seven to outside their top 20. Regardless of where people rank him, one thing is clear, people expect him to take a step forward. In his rookie season, a common thought is that Olave was limited by Andy Dalton and his 66% catchable targets. Although it appeared to be true, Derek Carr's top option Davante Adams last season had only 60% catchable targets. The biggest difference will be that hopefully the volume increases and Olave as a player can take a step forward. However, these are two big asks for me, so I have him as a mid-WR-two and I am excited to see what he can do. |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Chris Olave ended his strong rookie season 8th in total air yards (1,531) while commanding a 25% target share and 10th-ranked air yards share (38%). He was the WR26 in points per game (11.0), 6th in yards per route run (2.42) and 8th in target rate per route run (28%). One of the most efficient seasons we have ever seen from a rookie WR. His downfield skill set and per-route efficiency will gel extremely well with his new quarterback, Derek Carr, in 2023. Olave is also a prime candidate to experience positive TD regression after finishing as just one of three WRs with 1,000 receiving yards to score fewer than 5 TDs. | |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | Amari Cooper finally turned into the high-volume receiver we have wanted for years as he finished as the WR17. Cooper amassed a 26.1% target share (16th), a 26.1% target per route run rate (20th), and a 38.3% air yard share (seventh). Cooper will be entering his age 29 season, so there's some concern if his production could begin to taper off. Cooper turned back the hands of time with his highest yards per route run last season since 2019. Cooper was also 12th in red zone and deep targets. As long as Deshaun Watson can return to some shade of his former self at quarterback, Cooper should be able to turn in another WR2 campaign. | Chris Olave had a magnificent rookie season as a target vacuuming wide receiver with alpha potential. Olave finished as the WR25 in fantasy points per game, which doesn't do any justice to his sparkling efficiency metrics. Olave was 15th in target share (26.7%), third in air yard share (40.8%), and tenth in target per route run rate (29.3%). He was seventh in open rate (ESPN analytics), immediately behind Stefon Diggs, and tenth in yards per route run. With Michael Thomas back, Olave will fight Thomas tooth and nail for the WR1 role in this offense. If he can improve on his 11 red zone targets (40th) and four total touchdowns (37th), he could easily finish as a WR1 in 2023. |
| Brandon Funston The Athletic | Extremely safe WR2 bet - in his 8 seasons, has finished inside the WR Top 10 twice (inc. 2022) and only slightly outside Top 25 twice | Was WR25 in fantasy as a rookie, and like former college teammate Garrett Wilson, hard not to be optimistic about the QB upgrade for Year 2 |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Cooper was joining a new team and he had to play with two quarterbacks last year. Cooper still tallied 76 receptions for 1,109 yards and 9 TDs in 16 fantasy games. Cooper should benefit from a full offseason with Deshaun Watson taking reps and he is a WR2 with upside heading into 2023. | Olave had 67 receptions for 982 yards and 3 TDs, despite playing with Andy Dalton for the majority of the season. Olave is on the cusp of being an elite WR1 with the addition of Derek Carr to the offense. |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 3/7: Should only benefit from Carr, even though he's more of a check-down guy he can sling it. Better than Dalton at least! | |
