Saints WR Chris Olave is a ideal target in the third round of fantasy football

Chris Olave is projected as a third-round pick in FFPC and Underdog, with potential to be in position for his best season as a pro given improved QB play and offensive scheme.

Olave is projected as a third-round pick in FFPC and Underdog, with potential to be WR1 overall given his 29% target share and history of leading the league in targets and catches.

Olave led the NFL in targets (150+) and catches (100) last year, ranking fifth in receptions among all WRs, seventh in receiving yards, and tied for sixth in touchdown grabs with nine.

Olave could be in position to have his best season as a pro and feels like he's being drafted at his floor as an absolute target magnet.

Olave's 29% target share last year was fantastic, and he feels like a floor pick at third round ADP given his elite target volume and potential for WR1 overall production.

In games with Taysom Hill starting last year, Olave averaged 18.8 points per game across eight games, suggesting strong upside with Hill under center.

In eight games with Tyler Shuck starting last year, Olave averaged 18.8 points per game, demonstrating strong production with improved QB play.

With Taysom Hill expected to take a big step forward and Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator, the Saints offense is positioned to be fantasy football-friendly, with Olave as the focal point.

Jordan Tyson was drafted by the Saints this year and is a really good player, but functions as a complementary piece to Chris Olave rather than a primary target.
