Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Garrett Wilson

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed are not going through pre-game warm-ups for the team's preseason opener against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. That means Spencer Rattler, who is getting the start against Los Angeles as he competes with Tyler Shough and Jake Haener for the QB1 job, will be without his top two wide receivers. Both Olave and Shaheed had their 2024 seasons significantly impacted by injuries, so it makes sense that the team would want to be cautious with them in the preseason.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson failed to haul in his lone target in Saturday's 30-10 win against the hosting Green Bay Packers. Wilson and the Jets' first-string offense got just one series together in this one, and the fourth-year pro couldn't connect with his quarterback the only time Justin Fields went his way. In Wilson's defense, the pass was a bit out of reach as he tried to snag it, falling out of bounds. There isn't much to go on here, but it's nice to see that Fields targeted his former Ohio State teammate despite attempting just four passes. A 25% target share is likely what the wideout will need to elevate him to the next level in 2025. That is, unless his new QB has taken a step forward as a passer. Either way, he should get that volume in spades as New York's unquestioned WR1. Hopefully, the two will get a bit more playing time together next Saturday when they line up against the New York Giants.
