Chris OlaveWRNO
Chris Olave met the alpha criteria (25%-plus target share, 15-plus PPR points per game, 12+ games played) in 2025, but Justin Carlucci notes he is much more uncomfortable to draft as early as the other alpha receivers, and his fantasy football ADP reflects that discomfort relative to the true alpha tier (Chase, Nacua, Smith-Njigba, St. Brown). At $26 in auction, Olave is positioned as a mid-tier option with upside; he posted a quietly excellent 100-catch, 1,163-yard, 9-TD season in a contract year, though health concerns and potential trade rumors create uncertainty.
