From the article

Chris Olave is coming off a career high 1163 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2025 and displayed a great connection with Shough. In my opinion, there is a world where both receivers each surpass 1000 receiving yards in 2026.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Olave's career-high 2025 and chemistry with Shough support a 1,000-yard ceiling in 2026.

Chris Olave is coming off a career-high 1,163 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns in 2025 and displayed a great connection with Tyler Shough. In the best-case scenario, there is a world where both Olave and Jordan Tyson each surpass 1,000 receiving yards in 2026, a feat the Saints haven't accomplished in a decade (last done in 2016-17 with Brandin Cooks and rookie Michael Thomas). The passing attack easily has the highest upside for the offense.
