Chris Olave fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 3 (2024). Should you start or sit Chris Olave for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Olave should remain in fantasy lineups for week 3.
Although the New Orleans Saints' offense has been clicking to start the season, Olave has yet to deliver a breakout fantasy performance in 2024. So far, he has recorded just six catches for 92 yards, averaging eight PPR fantasy points per game.
However, managers shouldn’t panic. The positive takeaway is that Olave has looked solid on the field, making impressive catches and running precise routes. As the rest of the Saints' offense continues to perform well, defenses will be forced to ease the attention they’ve been giving Olave, which should lead to more opportunities for him.
Chris Olave is insane.

In Week 3, the Saints face the Philadelphia Eagles, who have struggled to stop the pass over the past two seasons. The Eagles just allowed the Falcons, who were ineffective through the air in Week 1, to rack up 241 passing yards and two touchdowns in Week 2.
While Olave’s start hasn’t been ideal, he’s poised for a breakout and should remain a fixture in lineups for Week 3.
