PositiveProjectionOct 23, 2026
Carnell Tate targets Chris Olave over 74.5 receiving yards in Week 7 vs. Saints, the number one matchup for wide receiver targets vs. expectation. Olave opened the season with 86+ yards in four consecutive games, including 105+ in three of the first four. He threw out the Vikings game (46 yards) as a defensive outlier. Last week he was limited to 58% snaps and 43 yards due to illness; now fully healthy and should see double-digit targets again in this elite matchup.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026

Olave is going in the middle of the third round and broke out hugely last season with a pace of 100+ receptions, 1,400 yards, and 13 touchdowns when Shuck started; year two in the system with improved QB play and Kellen Moore's offense sets up well for continued success.PositiveValueMay 25, 2026

JJ Zachariason expresses a preference for drafting Chris Olave in the third round, though he acknowledges that Malik Nabers offers higher objective upside.PositiveValueNo date
Round 3 WR option listed as one of three preferred choices alongside Malik Nabers and DeVonta Smith. Strong early-season target share advantage due to Jordan Addison's absence, meaning Olave will command massive target share in the first month. Has ceiling to be a top-five overall WR for the entire season.PositiveProjectionNo date

Biggest concern is missing time due to concussion and blood clot history. Had one healthy season last year (100 receptions, 1,163 yards, 9 TDs), but concussions could sideline him for a month or end career; blood clots add new wrinkle and caused missed training time. When healthy, efficiency skyrockets with Derek Carr at QB—yards per target jumped from 6.1 to 9.0, with season-long pace projecting to 1,400+ yards and 13 TDs. Saints run high-volume offense in dome with easy schedule; team excited about Carr in year two. Despite injury risk, JJ Zachariason still wants pieces of this offense. Remains risky round-three pick because of concussions, blood clots, and injury risks.
