Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Jahan Dotson

Saturday, November 1, 12:47 PM

The Athletic's Diana Russini reports that the New Orleans Saints are expected to retain top wide receiver Chris Olave through the NFL's November 4 trade deadline. Olave has one more year on his current contract with New Orleans following 2025. The 25-year-old is having a solid season so far, recording 52 catches for 503 yards and three touchdowns on 83 targets. Olave has been one of the league's most consistent target-earners, recording double-digit targets in six out of eight games. Olave remaining in New Orleans might be the best thing for fantasy managers, as his target volume would almost certainly go down if he were moved to a contender. He profiles as a fantasy WR2 heading into the Saints' Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will likely step up as second-in-command at his position this week with A.J. Brown sidelined. Typically, Jalen Hurts only gives his top two WRs and Dallas Goedert any notable amount of targets, so with DeVonta Smith sliding into the definitive No.1 slot, there's an opening for some new blood. Dotson has been the third-most productive WR this season for Philly, tallying 111 yards and seven catches on 12 targets. He will line up against the New York Giants on Sunday, who give up the third-most fantasy points to WRs this season. While other offensive weapons will likely take precedent, Dotson is an option for deeper leagues as an emergency FLEX.
