It's cool to see Drake London and Chris Olave check a ton of boxes. But they're definitely much more uncomfortable to draft as early as the other alpha WRs, and their fantasy football ADPs reflect that. Chris Olave ($26, NO) — One of the six 2025 alphas. Coming off a quietly excellent 100-catch, 1,163-yard, 9-TD season in a contract year.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Olave met alpha criteria but carries draft discomfort; $26 is a nice pivot from elite tier.

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.
