Already achieved elite WR1 status in 2024; best of four breakout candidates despite minor health tracking.
Matt Harmon ranks Chris Olave as the most likely of four candidates (Olave, Rome Odunze, Terrace Marshall, Ricky Pearsall) to produce a JSN or George Pickens-type breakout season. Olave essentially already achieved this in 2024, finishing as the sixth overall receiver in half-PPR points per game and ninth in total PPR scoring, right behind George Pickens' fifth-place finish. Harmon cites Olave's established status as a true number one receiver, the Saints offense trajectory, and his Reception Perception profile history as reasons for the bullish outlook. Harmon acknowledges a blood clot issue caused Olave to miss the final game of 2024 and notes he hasn't practiced yet this offseason, but frames this as a tracking item rather than a disqualifier. Olave ranks in the top 10 in fantasy points per game.
