Ian Hartitz expects Chris Olave to miss approximately six weeks of the regular season with an estimated return around week 8, but positions him as set up for strong second-half value at the round 2-3 turn, comparing his potential to his late-season performance from the previous year. Hartitz selected Olave over Alvin Vizcaino Neighbors in the mockdraft, citing that Olave is healthier despite the two being ranked close together. Hartitz includes Olave in his core group of four wide receivers he truly believes could achieve top-12 seasons if things break right for them, alongside Jaylen Waddle, Christian Watson, and Parker Washington. Olave was selected as the WR1 in the mock draft, indicating Hartitz prioritizes him as his top wide receiver option.PositiveValueAug 20, 2026
