Chris Olave Week 5 Outlook - Vikings at Saints

By Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros), Tue, Oct 6th 2026, 8:47pm EDT

Olave is a yardage monster. Sitting as the WR4 with only one touchdown on the season is incredible. If it wasn't for a tough stretch of defenses, there would be no sign of slowing down for the veteran WR. With eight or more receptions in every game so far and over 100 yards in three of four games, he is the perfect mix of consistency for fantasy. Unfortunately, the Saints now face the dreaded Brian Flores defense with the Vikings. Outside of Olave, the Saints struggled against a less-than-mediocre Falcons defense last week. As a result, Flores could have this offense floundering this week. That said, Olave is a top-end talent and is guaranteed to see volume. This keeps him at the bottom of the WR1 range for me this week.
