Olave averaged WR1 numbers post-Week 10; faces oldest Lions secondary in 15 years.

In a new role with more underneath targets under HC Kellen Moore, Olave posted a career-best WR7 per-game finish on WR6 usage. He had improved QB play from rookie Tyler Shough and took off without Rashid Shaheed after Week 10, averaging 9.9 targets per game and 86 yards—both very clear WR1 numbers. Nothing has materially changed from that dominant stretch. The Saints project for 21.25 points against the Lions as 7.0-point dogs in a dome environment. The Lions' secondary is a total mess; ESPN's Ben Solak notes the Lions' starting secondary is the oldest of any team in the last 15 years and lacks the speed to match Olave. They won't have safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph. Only Puka Nacua projects for more targets (10.5).
