Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Jahan Dotson

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave recorded three receptions for 30 yards on five targets in the Week 14 win against the Buccaneers. His muted performance was a surprise, given he had recorded at least 54 yards or a touchdown in every other game this season. He now faces the Panthers, against whom he put up a season-high 104 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 10. Carolina allows the seventh-fewest PPR points per game to receivers, though New Orleans dominated through the air in their first meeting with 282 passing yards. Olave remains the top option in the Saints' passing game and could be in line for a strong bounce-back showing in Week 15. He ranks as a strong WR2 with upside this week.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been an inconsistent contributor in fantasy football this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dotson turned in a solid two-catch, 43-yard showing last week, but he also has zero catches in two of his last four games. Dotson's floor remains quite low given his role in the Eagles' offense. As the No. 3 receiver in an offense that likes to run the ball, Dotson should only expect a couple of targets per game (at most), and most of them will be contested throws deeper downfield. Plus, his snap share has taken a step backward, as he played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last two games. He is a boom-or-bust receiver who ranks outside the top 100 receivers in fantasy points this season. Even against a susceptible Dallas defense, Dotson is not a safe receiver to rely upon.
