2025 Half PPR Draft Rankings

Chris Olave Note

Chris Olave enters 2025 with more red flags than breakout buzz. Now 25, he's coming off an injury-riddled 2024 season in which he played just six full games and averaged a disappointing 10 fantasy points per game (WR40). While still efficient on a per-route basis (2.15 YPRR), Olave was out-targeted and out-produced by Rashid Shaheed, who doubled him in air yards and posted more top-12 weekly finishes. Olave has struggled to deliver high-end fantasy weeks throughout his career and now faces even murkier outlooks with shaky QB play likely incoming in New Orleans.

Rashid Shaheed Note

Rashid Shaheed was in the midst of a third-year breakout before a torn meniscus in Week 6 cut his season short. Through six games, he ranked as the WR17 overall (WR27 ppg) despite a zero-point Week 3, averaging 2.04 yards per route run and 73+ receiving yards in four of six games. Surprisingly, Shaheed outperformed Chris Olave across the board during that stretch - higher target share (25% vs. 20%), double the air yards, and more top-12 weekly finishes since 2023 (4 vs. 3). Given the uncertainty surrounding the Saints, Shaheed stands out as one of the few Saints worth targeting - especially at a discounted ADP. He offers legitimate spike-week upside and quietly carries an almost better track record than his teammate.
