Chris Olave Week 6 Outlook - Patriots at Saints

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 9th 2025, 1:35pm EDT

Let me lead this off with the fact that Christian Gonzalez isn't shadowing, so that won't play into how I'm evaluating the Saints' passing attack for Week 6. Olave is the WR31 in fantasy points per game with four deep targets and six red zone targets (sixth-most among wide receivers). Olave has a 28.7% target share, a 35.3% air-yard share, 1.37 yards per route run (48.8 receiving yards per game), and a 33.8% first-read share. This week, he'll face a Patriots' pass defense that has the sixth-highest rate of single-high (60.4%). Against single high, his target share has increased to 32.1% with 1.76 yards per route run and a 34.4% first-read share. Olave is a viable flex this week, facing a secondary that has allowed the fifth-most PPR points per target and the eighth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.
