4. Chris Olave, WR, New Orleans Saints (vs. ATL)

Despite the overall lack of explosiveness from the Saints’ offense and their inability to move the ball consistently, Chris Olave still remains a steady fantasy option as the clear-cut top target for the Saints. His 98 targets on the year are tied for 15th among wide receivers and his 23 catches of 20 yards or more rank eighth.

Olave hasn’t seen fewer than five targets in a game this season since Week 1, and he’s been the overall PPR WR20 on the season. Olave might have been an important reason why you’re team is in the fantasy playoffs, and he gets a solid matchup right out of the gates.

Atlanta has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, largely due to their thin and undermanned secondary. This game poses a get-right opportunity for most of the Saints’ offense, especially Olave who should be able to turn in a top-20 fantasy performance.
