Deep dive: Chris Olave, 49.2% of the Saints' air yards
FRI 13 NOV 2026
Chris Olave scores 17.7 PPR points per game this season, 8th of 75 WRs. Last season he scored 16.8, 7th of 60. Two good seasons in a row, but he is rarely named with the top tier.
The role is the reason. He gets 49.2% of the Saints' air yards (trailing), 4th of 75 WRs, and 8.8 targets per game, 7th. His target share is 28.0%, 10th. Over 2025 and 2026 he scores 15.3 fantasy points per 50 snaps, 13th of 139 WRs. He is 2nd of 10 on the Saints chart.
His Week 9 against Cleveland: 7 catches on 12 targets, 98 yards. That is 16.8 PPR points, a WR12 finish.
The risk, said out loud: the Saints' team offense efficiency (trailing) is -0.095 EPA per play, 61st of 75, and his total receiving EPA per game is +0.5, 48th. The volume carries him; the offense does not.
