Chris Olave was hoping to break out last season. The rookie finished with the 17th-most yards in the league (1,042), but only found the endzone four times. However, he had one thing fantasy managers drool over: consistency. Olave finished under 10 fantasy points just four times in 15 games, and never had under seven fantasy points. This is crucial and made Olave a reliable start every week.
Despite the consistency, he only had two games over 20 fantasy points in PPR scoring which was heavily impacted by his lack of touchdowns. If he remains the No.1 option in the Saints passing game and gets a little help from the TD variance gods, he has the potential to be a WR1 by midseason. A return to form by Michael Thomas could also be a threat to Olave's success but it makes sense to side with youth in this situation.

 Chris Olave expected to play in Week 13
Concussion

FFToday's Take: Olave has been in the concussion protocol this week but apparently has cleared and will be a go against the Lions. Rashid Shadeed will miss due to a thigh injury. Olave has WR1 upside this week with the Saints being down two of their starting receivers. A.T. Perry and Keith Kirkwood should also see snaps but aren't fantasy considerations.

Knee injury; earliest possible return would be Week 16

FFToday's Take: HC Dennis Allen hinted at this when he told reporters last week that Thomas was dealing with a significant injury. His absence figures to give Chris Olave more opportunities at the very least, although rookie A.T. Perry could benefit the most from a fantasy perspective if he replaces Thomas in the starting lineup. It is also possible Rashid Shaheed would have a slightly higher floor as well.
