Chris Olave Looks to Rebound Against Giants

Saturday, October 4, 9:12 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave posted season-low numbers in Week 4 against the Bills, managing just six targets, three receptions, and 20 yards. He salvaged some fantasy value with his first touchdown of 2025 but also threw an interception on a failed trick play with Spencer Rattler. Despite the down performance, Olave remains a focal point of the Saints' passing attack and draws a favorable Week 5 matchup with the Giants, who are allowing 235.5 passing yards per game, ranking 25th in the league. Olave profiles as a WR2/WR3 for that one.

George Pickens To Move Frequently In Week 5

Thursday, October 2, 9:41 AM

Coming off a monster Week 4, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens could be an even more active part of the Week 5 game plan, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. The offseason trade acquisition had his best game of the season last week against Green Bay, going for eight catches, 134 yards, and two touchdowns in Dallas' first full game without CeeDee Lamb (ankle). This week, with a matchup against the New York Jets and cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner looming, Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said the club plans to move Pickens all over formations to create favorable matchups. That should sound good to managers who roster Pickens, who figures to continue as the top option in Dallas as long as Lamb is out.
