BALLER MOVE: Start in All Formats
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave has been a consistent WR2 option for fantasy managers over the past two years. He has totaled over 70 catches and 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two NFL seasons. Olave, though, is looking to change that in 2024 and become a fantasy WR1.
He'll have a great chance to prove that in Week 1 against a tough Carolina Panthers secondary. The Panthers allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers last year and only gave up 2,063 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns to the position. That Carolina secondary features cornerback Jaycee Horn -- who should draw the Olave assignment in Week 1.
Are you drafting Chris Olave this year? 🤔

Last season, Horn held Olave to just three catches for 14 yards when he was the primary defender in Week 14. However, fantasy managers should still be starting the Saints wideout in Week 1. He comes in as a fantasy WR2 to open the year.
