The No. 1 target in the offense remains Olave. The 26-year-old caught 100 passes for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns last season but missed the season finale due to a blood clot in his lungs. Though injury concerns may pop up with the Ohio State product, his arrow is pointing up exiting last season and worth a top-13 wide receiver ADP for fantasy purposes.

Olave caught 100 passes for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns last season while commanding a 29.4-percent target share. Though he missed the season finale due to a blood clot in his lungs and has a history of concussions, his target quality improved significantly in the second half with Shough, averaging 9.0 yards per target versus 6.1 with Rattler. Shough targeted Olave 27 times in Weeks 16-17. Despite injury concerns, his arrow is pointing up and he is worth a top-13 wide receiver ADP.
