Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Ricky Pearsall

Saturday, November 22, 12:12 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in five receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Week 10 victory against the Panthers. Olave's first 100-yard game of the season was highlighted by a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Saints already traded Rashid Shaheed at the deadline and have also ruled out Brandin Cooks, as the team is set to waive him at his request. This opens up even more opportunity for Olave, who is already third in the league in targets. He'll carry a 60-664-4 line into a matchup against the Falcons, who just allowed 448 passing yards to Bryce Young and the Panthers. Olave is a borderline WR1/WR2 for that contest.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's (knee) returned to action in Week 11 after a six-week absence due to a knee injury sustained in Week 4. Unfortunately, the second-year wideout had just one catch for no gain on two targets in the 49ers' 41-22 trouncing of the Cardinals. On the positive side, Pearsall's knee injury appears to be in the rearview. Pearsall had a 75% snap share in Week 11 and logged a full practice on Thursday and Friday ahead of the 49ers' upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy football managers are advised to keep an eye out for the 49ers' final injury report, which will be due out Saturday as the team plays on Monday night. Barring any sort of reinjury in his final practice of the week, Pearsall projects as a WR3 and can be plugged into starting lineups for Week 12.
