Dynasty Wide Receiver Analysis for Fantasy Football

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle Seahawks

Jaxon Smith-Njigba saw his target share increase from 16.2% in 2023 to 23.1% in 2024, his targets per route run climbed from 0.189 to 0.213, and his yards per route run escalated from 1.32 to 1.96 while accounting for a 25.8% receiving yards market share per the Fantasy Points Data Suite.

With the inflation in opportunity, Smith-Njigba rose from WR45 to WR9, and he may not be done yet.

The young Seahawks receiver is one that dynasty managers should be willing to pay up for, as he continues to improve. Fantasy managers should not be worried about the addition of Cooper Kupp for two reasons: Kupp is getting a little older and has been dealing with injuries since his Super Bowl campaign.

Second, Kupp is a downgrade from Metcalf, who is now with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Expect more targets to be funnelled toward the third year wide out, much as they had been funnelled towards Puka Nacua in Los Angeles the last couple of seasons. Smith-Njigba came on strong over the second half of the season, averaging 82.4 receiving yards per game from Week 9 on after being limited to 48.5 yards per game the previous weeks.

Even if Kupp were to assume all 108 of Metcalf's vacated targets, there is the matter of the 49 receptions and 74 targets left behind by the departure of Tyler Lockett. That's 182 targets available, and Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling aren't filling that production.

Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints

When healthy, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave has been one of the most reliably consistent fantasy producers over the past three seasons. In his 37 career games in which he played at least 25% of his team's snaps, he has produced a staggering 28 games of at least 10 fantasy points in PPR scoring.

That kind of predictable safety is rare to find and can be invaluable to a contending roster. And yet, having just turned 25, he currently sits as WR29 on RotoBaller's dynasty rankings because, at this point in his young career, almost any story told about Olave will begin with those two ominous words -- when healthy.

A frightening history of concussions has cast considerable doubt over his future in the league. Olave has suffered at least four confirmed concussions in his three NFL seasons, including two in 2024, the second of which left him sidelined for the final eight games of the season.

While it would be understandable to fade Olave entirely over risks that extend beyond the game of football, his notably low acquisition cost could yield huge returns for the risk-averse.

Ranked as high as WR6 going into the 2023 season, Olave is still an elite route runner, and while the thought of catching passes from some combination of Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Jake Haener doesn't exactly get the blood pumping, Derek Carr wasn't setting any hearts ablaze either in his later seasons.

The unexpected retirement of Carr could prove to be a driving factor in Olave's fantasy resurgence. Things could get delightfully ugly this year in New Orleans. The Saints have the lowest projected win total in the NFL, with odds currently sitting at 4.5 victories. Not only does this mean increased passing opportunities in garbage time, but the team should be in line for an early pick in the 2026 NFL draft, with a quarterback class that is shaping up to be very interesting.

If he's able to make it through this season relatively unscathed, a healthy Olave could be entering a contract year as the number one option for a top two or three rookie quarterback and a likely extension on the table at only 26 years old. Any deal he signs at that point could vault him back into the top ten of dynasty wide receivers.

His concussion history is terrifying, but in a world where good health remains on his side, Olave might be the most rewarding buy-low candidate heading into the 2025 season.
