Outlook Chris Olave

Chris Olave at Detroit — Primed for heavy volume in potential shootout

Olave enters Week 1 as the primary passing option for New Orleans, particularly with wideout Jordyn Tyson sidelined on injured reserve. Fully healthy and locked in as the top target for quarterback Tyler Shough, Olave steps into a fast track under the dome at Ford Field.

Our models project Olave for roughly 5 to 6 catches on 8 to 9 targets for 64 yards and 15.9 fantasy points. As road underdogs in a projected high-scoring matchup, the game script favors heavy aerial volume, so fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Outlook DeVonta Smith

DeVonta Smith Cleared and Ready to Anchor Philadelphia's Passing Attack

Smith enters the season completely removed from the injury report after putting a minor preseason hamstring issue behind him. Operating as the primary perimeter weapon for Jalen Hurts, he continues to show elite route running and contested catch ability while serving as an offensive team captain. With no practice limitations heading into kickoff, he is positioned as Philadelphia's go-to option through the air.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Our weekly projection expects steady involvement, forecasting around 5 receptions on nearly 8 targets for 71 yards. Roster rates sit at 100% with virtually the entire fantasy community starting him, making Smith a locked-in starter with reliable volume and red-zone touchdown upside.
