Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Ricky Pearsall

Sunday, November 9, 6:38 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was able to come up huge for his team during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. His biggest play of the game was a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Olave would finish his day by hauling in five of his eight targets for 104 yards and one score in the victory. It appears the fourth-year wideout is building solid chemistry with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. This was a promising performance from Olave, as fantasy managers are hopeful for more big games like this from Olave going forward. Sadly, fantasy managers will have to wait until Week 12 as the Saints head into a bye week.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has no designation on the team's final injury report ahead of their divisional clash with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. When San Francisco last faced Arizona, in Week 3, Pearsall had his most productive game of the season, catching eight of 11 targets for 117 receiving yards. Jauan Jennings and George Kittle both missed that game due to injury, making Pearsall the focus of the 49ers' passing attack. With all three pass-catchers now healthy, there will be less work for Pearsall, but he could see better production as the defense won't be able to focus their efforts on any one player. Pearsall's return coincides with that of Brock Purdy (toe), who provides a slight bump to the prospects of San Francisco's skill players. Pearsall projects as a borderline WR3/4 in Week 11 with the upside that comes with being his team's preferred deep threat.
