Through two seasons, Chris Olave has displayed the traits and had the peripheral metrics of someone who can be an elite fantasy option. Unfortunately, Olave hasn't been able to put all the pieces together thus far.
Last season, he proved to be a target earner and saw the high-value targets that lead to fantasy production. He ranked 17th in target share, 12th in total targets, 6th in air yards, and 4th in deep targets.
There is hope that Olave will be in line to see a larger number of "layup targets" that bump his catch rate in Kubiak's offense. Easy receptions are likely the key to unlocking Olave and pushing him into the upper tier of fantasy receivers along with more trips to the endzone. Olave has just 9 TDs over his first two seasons.
Given his age, performance through two seasons, and position as the clear top option in New Orleans, betting on Olave to put it all together in year three is a good idea. He's a solid WR2 in most formats with WR1 upside.

Saints bring back WR Brandin Cooks
New Orleans adds depth to wide receiver room
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Mar 21, 1:55 pm
|  | Reunion: Veteran WR Brandin Cooks is signing with the #Saints, sources tell The Insiders. Back with the team that drafted him. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Saints suffered multiple injuries to their receiving corps last season which eventually left Marquez Valdes-Scantling as their top wideout. Cooks (31) will give the team some much needed depth even if he doesn't have the speed he once had, but won't be on the fantasy radar unless Chris Olave and/or Rashid Shaheed miss time.
