Chris Olave is a dynasty fantasy football sleeper and trade target for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook for the New Orleans Saints wide receiver.

RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: WR28

Dynasty Analysis: While Chris Olave was a popular breakout pick last year, his 2024 season was far from it. Olave had his worst season as a professional and only posted a 32-400-1 line across eight games. Part of the issue was that he sustained two concussions last year that forced him to miss nine games. This is a bit troubling as these head injuries marked the fourth and fifth documented concussions of Olave's playing career.

Fortunately, Olave is reportedly healthy entering the 2025 season. Dynasty gamers don't seem enthused by this news, as Olave is currently the WR26 according to KeepTradeCut. This is down from a WR10 ranking in July of 2024. The market is clearly worried about his concussion history. The Saints' current quarterback situation is also driving down Olave's value.

If someone in your league is willing to sell Olave, work a deal to get him on your roster. There's some risk, and we probably won't get a great return on investment in 2025. However, New Orleans will probably be in the market for a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 2026 quarterback class is supposedly loaded with talent, so Olave could eventually get a nice quarterback upgrade.

While 2025 probably won't be Olave's best year, he still figures to lead the team in targets and is New Orleans' best pass catcher. This is the perfect time to fade the market, buy the dip, and take a chance on a highly talented player.
