Fantasy Football Dynasty Ranking no. 7: Chris Olave WR- New Orleans Saints

See a trend here? This was a historically deep receiver class, and every team is searching for the next Ja’Marr Chase.

There is a LOT to like with the first-year player from Ohio State, minus his alma mater (I’m a hater, fine), including a healthy Michael Thomas.

It’s being reported from minicamp that Thomas is already taking Olave under his wing. That’s a very good thing.

The Saints also added Jarvis Landry recently. Also another good thing. Any attention that can be pulled away from the talented rookie, especially underneath is a good thing.

It should also be noted that the team has already anointed Jamies Winston the starter. Say what you want about Winston, but he isn’t afraid to throw downfield, and it’s always a positive when the position is settled well before training camp.

Olave has real potential, barring injury to himself, Winston, or Thomas, to post very solid year one numbers in an underrated Saints offense. 75/875/7 would not shock me at all and would be a welcome WR3 on any fantasy squad.
