Who Should I Start? Jordan Love or Chris Olave

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is currently outside of the top 12 as fantasy football's QB13 and should be considered as such for Week 7 as the Packers square off with the Arizona Cardinals. Love came back down to earth in Week 6, with a meager 19-of-26 passing line, with a touchdown and an interception against the Cincinnati Bengals. With such a porous Bengals' defense, the hope was that Love could exploit a team in the bottom ten of fantasy defenses through the air. Love now faces the Cardinals in Week 7, who give up the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. With a low fantasy points ceiling, Love is merely a streaming fantasy quarterback option.

The New Orleans Saints are reportedly in contract negotiations with wide receiver Chris Olave, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Olave's name had occurred in recent trade rumors, but the team's pursuit of a long-term deal might slow down those talks for now. Through six games, Olave has caught 39 of 64 targets for 342 yards and a touchdown, ranking as the WR27 on a per-game basis. The fourth-year wideout has dealt with injuries (mostly concussions) over his three-year career but has shown he can be a dependable weapon in the Saints' passing attack. While there are potential landing spots that could boost his fantasy ceiling, it appears Olave is staying put in New Orleans for the foreseeable future.
