Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Michael Penix Jr.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (chest) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. The team announced that he was questionable, but he quickly returned to the contest. Olave will re-assume his role as the Saints' No. 1 wide receiver ahead of Rashid Shaheed. Given his role in a subpar Spencer Rattler-led offense, Olave should merely be viewed as a high-end WR3/FLEX option in fantasy football.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. threw for nearly 300 yards during the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He got the game started off quickly with a 50-yard passing touchdown to Bijan Robinson on the opening drive. The Bucs basically completely stopped the Falcons running game, but Penix was able to keep his team in the game with his arm. He completed 27-of-42 passing attempts for 298 yards and a touchdown. Penix also added 21 yards on the ground on six rushing attempts with an additional touchdown on the ground. The young quarterback was able to hold his own especially without Darnell Mooney (shoulder) and Drake London towards the end of the game. It was a nice season opener for Penix, but he'll have a tough challenge ahead of him against the Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 2.
