| 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. | DK Metcalf was one of my biggest dynasty targets last offseason and he did not disappoint even with a new quarterback. The super-sized WR finished as the WR24 in points per game and as the WR17 overall, but I'd argue that Metcalf left meat on the bone in his first year with Geno Smith at the helm considering his final output didn't truly reflect his alpha usage. He was the WR12 in expected points per game based on ranking 18th in target share (25.5%) and 12th in air yards share (37%). He tied for second overall in red zone targets with Justin Jefferson. |
| 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. | Despite the adoration for Metcalf, he has only finished as a top-10 WR once in his career (2020). Since then he has WR-12 and 18 finishes respectively. This is the first year that his ADP aligns with his production. Currently going as the WR16, Metcalf is a perfect WR-two or WR-one if you start the draft RB heavy. |
| 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. | Metcalf has seen his fantasy production decline in three straight seasons after opening his first two seasons as the WR10 and WR20 in fantasy points per game. He found himself sitting at WR24 after the 2022 season. Metcalf's finish was fueled by three massive games in which he finished with at least 127 receiving yards as the WR7 or higher in weekly scoring. He was a rollercoaster wide receiver who also had six weeks as a WR55 or lower in weekly scoring. Metcalf's overall metrics in 2022 still put him in the WR2 bucket when projecting forward to 2023. He was 18th in target share (25.5%), tenth in air yard share (36.3%), and 34th in yards per route run. Metcalf was also 12th in deep target and second in red zone targets among receivers. |
| 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 | Career-high 90 catches in 1st season with QB Geno Smith - positive TD regression likely after 3rd-most RZ targets (27) yielded just 28th-most RZ catches (8) |
| 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! | 5/8: JSN is a much different role, but could eat into the target share regardless. 3/7: Good to have his boy Geno back |
| 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. | There is not much difference between DK Metcalf and Tyler Locket, as Metcalf was just a few fantasy points behind Lockett, finishing with 87 receptions for 1,008 yards and 6 TDs. Metcalf is a solid WR2 in 2023, as long as the Seahawks can bring Geno Smith back after a breakout season. |
