Shoutout to a guy in Chris Olave who was worried about his football future at one point. Then came back to have the best year of his career and got a deserved bag. Awesome player. [Quoted](PositiveNewsJul 20, 2026
1) Still love this 2022 class of WRs. So many awesome players. 2) Love the idea of Year 5 being the peak of their powers for WRs and this class in their 4th season were a real good example case for this. I would argue that several guys like Pickens, Olave, Pierce, London, Doubs, Watson and probably more were easily the best versions of themselves in isolation in Year 4.

Matt Harmon ranks Chris Olave as the most likely of four candidates (Olave, Rome Odunze, Terrace Marshall, Ricky Pearsall) to produce a JSN or George Pickens-type breakout season. Olave essentially already achieved this in 2024, finishing as the sixth overall receiver in half-PPR points per game and ninth in total PPR scoring, right behind George Pickens' fifth-place finish. Harmon cites Olave's established status as a true number one receiver, the Saints offense trajectory, and his Reception Perception profile history as reasons for the bullish outlook. Harmon acknowledges a blood clot issue caused Olave to miss the final game of 2024 and notes he hasn't practiced yet this offseason, but frames this as a tracking item rather than a disqualifier. Olave ranks in the top 10 in fantasy points per game.PositiveValueJun 4, 2026

Olave is positioned alongside Nico Collins as an attractive option in the second round ahead of George Pickens. In the third round, Harmon identifies Olave as a preferred target when running back-heavy early, grouping him with DeVonta Smith as a strong pick. Harmon believes Olave could have an elite season and names him as his final answer for round three favorite pick in best ball drafts.
