Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Puka Nacua

Saturday, September 13, 1:39 AM

Despite heading to the medical tent twice, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave led the team with 13 targets, turning them into seven receptions for 54 yards in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Kellen Moore's offense appeared aggressive, as quarterback Spencer Rattler attempted a career-high 46 passes in Week 1. This bodes well for the fourth-year receiver, who looks poised to become a go-to target in the pass-heavy attack. Olave should have plenty of opportunities to build chemistry with Rattler and, as long as he remains healthy, projects as a borderline WR2/WR3 this week against the San Francisco 49ers.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught eight of his nine targets for 91 yards through the air. However, the young receiver's best play of the day was a 45-yard touchdown run that involved breaking several tackles and winning a foot race to the end zone. Nacua has now scored at least 23 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his two games so far, establishing himself as a top-tier wide receiver in fantasy football. It was impressive to see him continue to produce in a game like Sunday's, where he had a tougher matchup and played in a positive game script. The game script could flip next week against the Philadelphia Eagles, creating even more opportunities for Nacua to earn targets. He's a firm WR1 option going forward.
