Who Should I Start? Christian Watson or Chris Olave

Friday, October 10, 12:41 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) will not play in Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but head coach Matt LaFleur said he's looked "pretty damn good" and that he's "excited for when that day comes," according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. The Packers aren't going to rush Watson back after he tore his ACL in the Week 18 regular-season finale last year. The 26-year-old returned to practice for the first time this year on Wednesday and has been limited this week. Depending on how much Watson is able to do next week in practice, it's possible he'll officially be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list to make his debut in Week 7 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Watson has had trouble staying healthy early in his NFL career and will be returning to a crowded receiving corps, but he has the potential to be an explosive deep threat for the Packers' offense when everything is right.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave earned double-digit targets (10) in Week 6 for the fifth time in six games this season, hauling in six catches for 98 yards against the New England Patriots. The 25-year-old has been a target monster so far in 2025, recording 39 catches for 342 yards and one touchdown on 64 targets. Overall, Olave's efficiency has been mediocre at best (career-low 8.8 yards per reception). However, he took a step in the right direction in Week 6 by averaging 16.3 yards per reception. Olave is the clear number one option in the Saints' passing game, which provides a consistent floor for fantasy managers in PPR leagues. He profiles as a safe WR2 with upside in PPR scoring formats going forward.
