Chris Olave Fantasy Football Outlook (2026)

By Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros), Sat, May 23rd 2026, 1:31pm EDT

Chris Olave finally delivered the WR1 fantasy season managers had been waiting for, finishing as a top-10 WR after commanding elite volume in Kellen Moore's fast-paced offense. The Saints wideout took his game to another level late in the year once Tyler Shough settled in at quarterback, finishing the fantasy playoffs as one of the highest-scoring receivers in football. Olave's target dominance and downfield role give him a very strong weekly floor, although the addition of rookie Jordyn Tyson could slightly cap his ceiling moving forward. Even if some touchdown regression hits, Olave remains a reliable WR1/WR2 option attached to one of the NFL's more aggressive passing attacks.
