Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Jayden Daniels

The New Orleans Saints are reportedly in contract negotiations with wide receiver Chris Olave, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Olave's name had occurred in recent trade rumors, but the team's pursuit of a long-term deal might slow down those talks for now. Through six games, Olave has caught 39 of 64 targets for 342 yards and a touchdown, ranking as the WR27 on a per-game basis. The fourth-year wideout has dealt with injuries (mostly concussions) over his three-year career but has shown he can be a dependable weapon in the Saints' passing attack. While there are potential landing spots that could boost his fantasy ceiling, it appears Olave is staying put in New Orleans for the foreseeable future.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels could be without all three of his top wide receivers for Week 7's matchup at Dallas, with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) ruled out for the fourth straight game, Noah Brown (groin) placed on IR, and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) listed as questionable. Daniels faced a similar situation last week against the Bears, as Samuel was clearly limited by the injury and less effective than usual, yet Daniels still delivered an excellent fantasy performance. The star QB threw three touchdowns and totaled 52 rushing yards on 10 carries, both his highest since Week 1. Now Daniels and the Washington offense head on the road to face a Dallas defense that has allowed the third-most points and the highest yards per pass attempt in the league. There should be plenty of points scored on both sides in this matchup, and Daniels will rank as one of the top QBs in fantasy for Week 7.
