BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~25 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~29
ANALYSIS: The numbers that Chris Olave assembled during his first 11 matchups last season have fueled my continued interest in securing him on as many of my rosters as possible throughout the 2023 draft season.
Olave vaulted to seventh among all wide receivers with 89 targets (8.9 per game/25.7% share) from Weeks 2-12, while also tying for fifth in targets per route run (31.9%), and rising to ninth in receiving yards (781/78.1 per game).
Olave also soared into the league lead with 1,309 air yards, was fifth in air yards share (39.8%), and led all members of his rookie class in each of those categories during that sequence.
Olave contended with a hamstring issue that impacted his availability and output in Weeks 15-16. However, that does not diminish the significance of his encouraging numbers while performing effectively with Andy Dalton and Jameis Winston under center.
Olave is fully capable of delivering a breakout season while operating as the primary receiving weapon in an offense that will be guided by a rejuvenated Derek Carr. I am targeting Olave near his current ADP in FFPC's Best Ball leagues (23/WR12) and I am convinced that he will justify those lofty expectations.
