Olave has been "absolutely fantastic" and "absolutely bananas good" this year. The source emphasizes that a good sign for a quarterback is feeding your top player relentlessly, and Olave is receiving that treatment from Shough. Olave has also credited the guardian cap with reducing his anxiety and making him feel more secure, which the source observes translates to more assertive, dominant play on the field. He is described as "probably the least famous, great wide receiver in the league" and "very, very good," with exceptional performance through two weeks.PositiveUsageSep 14, 2026

Chris Olave is the Saints' number 12 receiver in ADP (third-round range) and is in his prime after signing a big deal. He's a proven weapon in Kellen Moore's fast-paced, pass-heavy offense that runs the fastest pace in the league (snapping every 27 seconds). The Saints' top-10 offensive line and elite schedule support his upside.PositiveInjuryJun 8, 2026
