Ellis Johnson
True North Fantasy Football
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.Ridley is currently the 20th receiver off the board in drafts. Despite releasing an amazing story about his journey in the NFL, courtesy of Sports Illustrated, it's hard to see him have a lot of success this season. Although I hope I am wrong with that statement, the 2018 26th overall pick has not played an NFL game since Week Seven of 2021. Now on a new team, he projects to be the top target for Trevor Lawrence. There is a world this offense is electric and Ridley is amazing, however, at his ADP I'd rather take a shot on receivers like Mike Williams, Chris Godwin, and Brandon Aiyuk, all of which are going well after him.
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. 
Brandon Funston
The Athletic
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 Brown
FantasyPros
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.The last time we saw Calvin Ridley, he was still among the best receivers in the league. In 2021, Ridley was seventh in target share (27.4%), fourth in air yard share (40.0%), and fifth in route win rate. Ridley and Ryan just couldn't find their old chemistry, as Ryan's skills were profoundly diminished. Ridley was subjected to backup quarterback-level target quality that ranked 63rd. His catchable target rate was only 71.2% (73rd). While it's worth pondering what version of Ridley we'll see returning from hiatus, don't for a second think he was playing poorly in 2021 despite the fantasy results not being there. With Trevor Lawrence taking a huge step forward in 2022, Ridley will be a WR2 next season with WR1 upside.
Derek Lofland
FantasyPros
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!3/7: Officially reinstated, which minimizes the risk. Congested situation but he could easily be the Alpha here in an explosive, ascending offense Last time we saw Ridley for a full season, he was a Top-5 WR & looked like the next great young stud WR. Trevor Lawrence has looked phenomenal during the 2022 second half, and if Zay Jones / Christian Kirk can put up these kind of numbers... Ridley could go BONKERS in 2023.
