WR Chris Olave, NO (3 Viewers)

[Judge Smails]

Maybe just avoided Jaycee Horn. I dunno. Carr does this

I thought Horn got burnt for 3 TDs? Or was that a different CB?

I think that was Carr just saying he got 3 TD's against them, not vs Horn

The first TD was a post route run against Horn. He was expecting safety help over the top so was positioned outside. PFF rated that as on the safety.

So what are we thinking this week? Is he a must start or do you bench him for someone with a higher floor?

I started Jefferson and Waddle at WR. Think I’m flexing Likely over him

I’d like a redo on the whole Waddle thing

I'm debating Likely or McBribe over him.

 

[zoonation]

I have a bunch of mid/late round plugs that I am debating starting over him but can’t decide which one. Dell, BTJ, Cooper, Reed Lad. Thinking Dell but who knows.

Staying the course on Olave. Dude had 87 catches last season, and appears to be in a much more creative offense this year. If Carr doesn't get him involved this week, it's worth reconsidering but for now I'm not panicking.

The matchup this week isn’t very good imo

fair point.

 

[TampaMike19]

If the Saints are better this year this game should be competitive. Think the Cowboys win but if the Saint stay true to their motion and play action tendencies (huge in week 1) then I can see Olave getting open down the field for a bomb or two. Just depends if the Saints can give Carr enough time from the pass rush since the Cowboys can just play two high then.

Chris Olave suffered a hamstring injury in practice.

Oooof.

Who would step in? (Besides throwing to Kamara underneath 15 times).

Could see Shaheed being used as the #1 and getting 10 targets. Not sure he can do it, but likely Saints best option.

 

[cascaa]

Is AT healthy?

 

[eagles 123]

Taysum Hill come back game

 

[Judge Smails]

Damn it

 

[Mitchie]

no bueno

 

[fred_1_15301]

Literally just got him in a trade this morning. Unbelievable

 

[eighsse2]

He's only considered day-to-day and officially questionable for Sunday. That doesn't have the sound of a major issue. Though, who knows.

 

[Doug B]

Is AT healthy?

Yes, he is.

 

[Wrigley]

If he sits, that would make it 6 players with the big red O next to their names.

isn't this supposed to be fun

 

[Mitchie]

(Rotowire) Olave (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, is considered a game-time decision, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: In the same report, Fowler does say there's some optimism Olave will be able to play, but it'll depend on what happens presumably during a pre-game warm-up. In any case, expect more information regarding Olave's status to come well before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

hard to sit Olave, even if he’s 80-90%

 

[FarFromHome]

I'm sitting for St Brown. Ha ha. Just teasing. Always love those posts.

 

[KellysHeroes]

benching for Lazard in one and Addison in another. Hammy's scare me

 

[Mookie Gizzy]

Benching and starting Dortsch over Worthy because I have Kyler

 

[zoonation]

Cannot start even if he plays.

 

[TheWinz]

Remember the good old days when you confidently started all your players and had no idea if they were playing or not?

 

[Judge Smails]

So is he a must start? AT is inactive so they must feel good about him

 

[ShamrockPride]

So is he a must start? AT is inactive so they must feel good about him

Must start based on talent, but it's entirely up to your risk tolerance. One wrong cut, or burst off the line, the smallest tweak and he's done.

Hammy's are the worst.

 

[FGITLOTR]

shocked this many are sitting him

 

[General Malaise]

Benched for Rome. Getting to the point where I would do that if healthy. His allergy to the endzone is untenable.

 

[eighsse2]

I'm sitting him behind Godwin and Metcalf.

 

[Judge Smails]

I'm sitting him behind Godwin and Metcalf.

No brainer there. My option is Brian Thomas Jr

 

[TheWinz]

I have to start 2 of Chris Olave, Cam Akers, and Demarcus Robinson, and have about 10 minutes left to decide

 

[JoeJoe88]

I have to start 2 of Chris Olave, Cam Akers, and Demarcus Robinson, and have about 10 minutes left to decide

Think I’d go first two.

That's what I did.

 

[FGITLOTR]

like I said, you start him, even at 80-90%

 

[Mitchie]

phew, thought was gonna regret playing him

 

[Uncle Leo]

He has been compared to Wilson ever since they came to Ohio State then the NFL as 1st Rounders. Olave is better, right?

Too soon to say. Olave to me pops out on tape and feels more efficient than Wilson but Wilson has been on the Jets and some erratic qb play.

Anyways, falcons on the road wasn’t an easy matchup by any means. Hope he heals up- was glad to see him at full speed even with the hammy

 

[Payne]

Never bench your studs. Fantasy 101.

Not always. Fantasy 201.

 

[zoonation]

Cannot start even if he plays.

So, wrong about this. He looked great.

 

[Judge Smails]

I started Brian Thomas over him. Turned out to be the right move but glad he looked good, produced and most importantly came out of it healthy

He really does pop on tape. Just has it

What surge? Post an article about his disappearance and failure to do anything in a marquee game. Surge my assssssssssssssss.

 

[crushedspirit]

Spags took notice and made sure he was taken out of the game plan
