Olave is overpriced in a proposed trade for Jaylen Warren and Tee Higgins. While Tony Pollard loves the idea of buying low on the former Ohio State star, especially during the New Orleans Saints' bye week, the trade proposal overpays for him. Better targets for a two-for-one upgrade would be Amon-Ra St. Brown or Malik Nabers.

Chris Olave hasn't reached 60 receiving yards in his last three games, a sharp decline from his Weeks 1-4 average of 122 yards per game. He remains the unquestioned No. 1 WR for New Orleans and saw 10 targets last week, but the recent downward trend cannot be ignored. At best, this is a mini-slump and he is a great buy-low candidate; at worst, this foreshadows a rocky season.

Olive is experiencing a significant receiving yards regression. He has been under 60 yards in three straight games after recording at least 80 yards in seven consecutive games prior. This sharp decline suggests a role or target share reduction that warrants monitoring.

The source notes that the Steelers' defense 'didn't allow the Saints' best player — Olave — to get behind the secondary or create explosives,' highlighting defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's bend-but-don't-break approach successfully limiting Olave's impact in the game.

Olave came into the week as the second-leading receiver in terms of yardage but was held to just 56 yards on six catches by the Steelers' defense. Despite the Saints' ability to move the ball through nickel-and-dime passing, Olave failed to produce explosive plays, with only two Saints pass catchers averaging double-digit yards per catch.

Olave, the Saints' best player, was held in check by the Steelers' defense; he received a 14-yard pass from Shough to open a critical drive with just over seven minutes left in the game, but the Saints were unable to capitalize and were forced to punt after a Patrick Queen sack on 3rd-and-10. The Steelers' defensive coordinator Patrick Graham's bend-but-don't-break style prevented Olave from getting behind the secondary or creating explosive plays.
