BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is a must-start pass-catcher. He had a season-high in targets with 10 in Week 4, catching eight of them for 87 yards. He's now scored double-digit PPR fantasy points in his last three games and doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon.

New Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has completely overhauled the team's offense and in a good way. They're much better than they were last year, and despite the huge loss of Center Erik McCoy, Kubiak showed an ability to adjust the offense to still give a chance for the team to win.
Olave's been a good receiver throughout his career with the Saints, he just had a down year last year largely because of quarterback Derek Carr's lack of chemistry with him and former OC Pete Carmichael Jr. calling a completely ineffective offense. Neither of these things seem to be the case any more in the Big Easy.
You can't bench a receiver who gets 10 targets on a (mostly) good offense, and Olave should be locked into all lineups for Week 5. The Saints will face a tough challenge in the Kansas City Chiefs, though, but Chris is integral to Kubiak's plan to come away with a win.
