STACKED’s take
Olave's WR3 finish and Lions' depleted secondary make him a safe Week 1 start.
Olave is a safe Week 1 start and should feel confident starting the fantasy season with a win. He finished 2025 as the fantasy WR3 in points per game from Week 10 onwards, trailing only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, with a 28% target share and 2.47 yards per route run during that stretch. He should start similarly hot this year. Jordyn Tyson will miss at least the first four games, likely more. Tyler Shough will have had the offseason catered to him, unlike last season when reps were split heavily between him and Spencer Rattler, who started as the Saints' QB1. With another year of familiarity in Kellen Moore's play-fast scheme and no increased competition, confidence is high, especially with the Saints playing the Lions in Week 1. Two of Detroit's best pass defenders, Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch, are on injured reserve, leaving a secondary wafer-thin after Terrion Arnold's release in July. This game is projected to be a shootout with the highest projected total of any Week 1 game (49.5).
