Coming off their Bye Week, Olave looks to reset his season. After starting the year averaging 12 targets and 123 yards, he had averaged only seven targets and 48 yards over his last three games. This may have something to do with Tyler Shough playing with two broken bones in his non-throwing hand, or may be a cause of a tougher stretch of the schedule. Either way, it doesn't get any easier as they face the Cleveland Browns this week. The Browns are allowing the sixth fewest passing yards and 11th fewest passing touchdowns per game this season. I have Olave as a fringe WR1 this week, and will keep him there until he either has a better matchup or shows signs of life once again.

Chris Olave snags 6 passes in loss

Chris Olave caught six of ten targets for 56 yards in the Saints' 16-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Olave was second on the team in receiving yards by one, but led in targets by three over RB Alvin Kamara. It wasn't the game we would have hoped for Olave, but it certainly wasn't something that ruined your week. He's been quiet over the last three weeks, aside from a touchdown last Sunday. He will look to have better results against Cleveland after the Saints' bye.
