Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Chris Olave

Saturday, November 8, 10:18 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't finished inside the top 50 of his position since Week 2 this year. The veteran pass-catcher continues to be more of an outlet option, rather than a consistent threat each week. In Week 9, he failed to bring in the only target he saw in a blowout win over the Miami Dolphins. His opponent in Week 10, the Minnesota Vikings, has been tough against opposing receiving groups this season, and the Ravens have finally gotten healthier on offense. That means there will likely be fewer targets for Hopkins after the other four that are higher in the pecking order. Hopkins isn't a recommended option in any format this week.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave caught three of four targets for 57 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Rams. The four targets marked a season low after he entered the week ranked second in the league in targets while Spencer Rattler was under center. With rookie Tyler Shough now at the helm, the two will need to develop chemistry quickly, especially after the Saints traded away Rashid Shaheed, who led the team in targets during Shough's first start. Olave is averaging a career-low 10.2 yards per reception but a career-high 6.1 catches per game, showcasing his reliability as the clear No. 1 option in the passing game. His ceiling remains high, though quarterback uncertainty keeps him in the WR2 range for Week 10 against a tough Panthers defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points to wide receivers.
