Chris Olave News
Friday, October 16, 7:28 PM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave recorded just four receptions for 46 yards in Week 5's loss to the Vikings. His yardage total was his lowest since Week 14 of 2025, though it's difficult to fault Olave when the Saints' offense managed just 142 total yards. Olave has missed two practices this week due to an illness but was able to participate in some capacity on Friday, leaving his status for Sunday's game questionable. If he suits up, he faces a Giants defense that ranks around the middle of the pack against opposing wide receivers. Despite last week's disappointing performance, Olave still ranks second in the league in receiving yards and remains a must-start fantasy option on a weekly basis.

George Pickens News
Saturday, October 17, 12:36 AM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens faces a tough test in a battle to put up WR1 numbers against the Green Bay Packers in Week 6. Pickens has been one of the more disappointing picks in fantasy football this season -- he had a huge game in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but that was after Cowboys WR1 CeeDee Lamb (quadriceps) exited with injury. Aside from that game, Pickens has been the clear WR2 for the Cowboys and has been dominated in targets, receptions, yards, and touchdowns by his counterpart. Lamb could be playing hurt in Week 6, which would help Pickens measurably, but we don't know how hampered No. 88 will be. Still, Pickens is a must-start this week, as the Cowboys still have one of the NFL's best offenses for fantasy football and No. 3 showed elite talent as the team's WR1 last season. Treat Pickens as a mid-range WR2 with WR1 upside for his upcoming game against the team he scored 33.4 PPR fantasy points against in Week 4 of last season.
