Olave is the WR26 in fantasy points per game, and since Week 2, he's been leading the way for New Orleans. He leads the team with a 27.3% target share and 3.58 YPRR while ranking second to only Rashid Shaheed in air-yard share (43.2% vs. 52.6%) and first-read share (34% vs. 36%). Olave and Shaheed are tied for the team lead with two red zone targets. Kansas City has the second-highest two-high rate (65.4%). The Saints' attack plan for two-high has been equal measured doses of Olave and Shaheed. Their usage versus two-high is nearly identical. Olave has a 23.8% target share, a 38.6% air-yard share, 3.08 YPRR, and a 32.1% first-read share against two-high. Against two-high, Shaheed has a 23.8% target share, a 55.8% air-yard share, 3.03 YPRR, and a 32.1% first-read share. This is a tough matchup for both players, but they have been so good against two-high that they could both easily succeed. Kansas City has allowed the tenth-lowest PPR points per target and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Fantasy Impact

Olave has now logged two-straight practice sessions to start the week. He's still listed on the injury report, but it's unlikely that he will have an injury designation heading into the weekend. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting him in a matchup against the Chiefs.
