"Olave is entering his fourth NFL season following a troubling 2024 campaign in which he played only six full games while battling concussion woes. The good news is that Olave appears healthy for 2025 and he's been productive when active throughout his career. That includes 2024, as he produced 80-plus yards four times in those six games. He handled a 24% target share, which wasn't far off his 27% and 25% rates during his first two seasons. The 2022 first-round pick has yet to reach his ceiling (he's yet to clear five TDs in a season), but he produced top-25 fantasy campaigns in his first two seasons and is set up well to pace New Orleans in targets in 2025. Of course, there's added risk here as the Saints turn to rookie QB Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler following Derek Carr's retirement. Olave is safest as a WR3/flex, with a hint of post-hype sleeper appeal."


"The stretch-run chemistry between rookie signal-caller Tyler Shough and Olave continued in fine fashion Sunday, with the latter leading the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets. Olave went in for his ninth touchdown of the season on a 19-yard grab early in the third quarter, and he eclipsed the century mark through the air for the third time on the campaign. Olave has at least six receptions and 85 receiving yards in three straight games and has already locked in his first 100-catch season ahead of a Week 18 road matchup against the Falcons."

Trends


"Freiermuth is entering his fifth NFL season having yet to emerge as a viable fantasy starter. The 2021 second-round pick peaked with an 11th-place finish in fantasy PPG in 2022 and, despite catching a career-high 65 passes and matching a career best with seven TDs last season, he ended up 14th in PPG. One concern here is that the TD output is unsustainable, as Freiermuth ranked 20th in expected TDs (3.1, which aligned with where he was when he scored two TDs in both 2022 and 2023) and had a career-low two end zone targets. Another concern is the acquisition of Jonnu Smith, who even in an offense short on WR depth, is sure to cut into Freiermuth's target share. The arrival of Aaron Rodgers helps his cause a bit, and he may settle in second in target priority behind DK Metcalf, but there's not much of a ceiling here. Freiermuth is a mid-to-back-end TE2."


"Freiermuth continued his recent trend of coming on late in games when he missed both of his targets in the first half before erupting for 51 yards on three receptions after halftime. The 26-year-old generated a 44-537-4 receiving line while operating in a TE rotation also featuring Darnell Washington (forearm) and Jonnu Smith (38-222-2) in 2025. Freiermuth should continue receiving extra looks in the playoffs after Washington was placed on IR after suffering an injury in Week 17."
