  • Round 3 Jason (3.01) – Brock Bowers (TE, LV) Mike (3.05) – Chris Olave (WR, NO) Andy (3.09) – D’Andre Swift (RB, CHI) Of course, Brock Bowers is really only a third-round pick in this mock draft in name only, as Jason waited to take him at the 3.01.

    Kurt Mullen· Sep 4
  • Chris Olave averaged 18.8 fantasy PPG with Tyler Shough. Only Puka Nacua, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ja’Marr Chase and Amon-Ra St. Brown averaged more in 2025.

  • Whenever he is on the field opposite Chris Olave (who has his own injury history), Tyson has tremendous upside, offering elite separation ability and versatility across the field.

  • The hope was that he would provide a stable complementary piece opposite Chris Olave in the passing game — who knows if that will ever come to fruition.

  • Chris Olave (WR – NO) The direct beneficiary of Jordyn Tyson’s injury. With Tyson’s availability in serious doubt, Olave becomes the unquestioned focal point of the New Orleans passing game, and the market is responding.

  • With Jordyn Tyson out, it’s going to be all Chris Olave for this Saints offense. I expect a target share of 30% or higher.

  • Chris Olave is my answer because the market is still pricing him as a back-end WR1 while I see a legitimate path to a top-five season.

  • However, fantasy players shouldn’t be shocked if Harrison is this year’s Chris Olave , a mid-round pick who finishes as a top-12 wide receiver. Arizona improvised its coaching staff by hiring an offense-minded head coach this offseason, like the New Orleans Saints did last year.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 25
  • Chris Olave finally delivered the WR1 fantasy season managers had been waiting for, finishing as a top-10 WR after commanding elite volume in Kellen Moore’s fast-paced offense.

  • Round 6: Tyler Shough (QB – NO) With Chris Olave on my squad, getting the stack is a nice bonus.

  • Round 4: Chris Olave (WR – NO) With Tyler Shough as his quarterback and Rashid Shaheed not on the field, Olave had a near 30% target share.

  • Before the trade, Shaheed ranked top-15 in WR targets and consistently produced alongside Chris Olave in the Saints offense.

  • With McDaniel’s WR1 averaging 16.6 fantasy points per game over the last three seasons, McConkey has legitimate overall WR1 upside at his current cost.” – Ryan Linkletter ( Blitz Sports Media ) “ Ladd McConkey – Last year, we saw Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Chris Olave thrive under new offensive leadership in Klint Kubiak and Kellen Moore, respectively.

Emeka Egbuka
  • Players like Jaylen Warren , Terry McLaurin , Rico Dowdle , Rashee Rice , Jameson Williams , Emeka Egbuka , Quentin Johnston , and Kyle Pitts can all become interesting depending on where they are still available in your draft.

  • Doctors’ orders: AVOID Emeka Egbuka | WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers For a wide receiver, the big toe is more important than you might think Emeka Egbuka ‘s toe injury might not sound particularly concerning at first glance.

  • Round 7: Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) While he’ll compete with Chris Godwin for targets, Emeka Egbuka is who I’d consider to be the No.

  • Dealing with a real toe injury that sounds like it could cost him a game or two, Egbuka still carries real conviction given his hot start to last season, when he was producing at a top-three receiver pace through his first five games at just 22 years old before a hamstring injury and a chaotic overall offensive situation derailed the rest of his year.

  • Wide Receivers Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) I’m hardly alone in expressing my optimism for a breakout campaign from Emeka Egbuka.

  • Take Emeka Egbuka , for example. His hot start last season will prove difficult to replicate. He plays 3 top-5 defenses against fantasy wideouts in the first 3 weeks of the season.

  • If health holds, his profile projects closer to a WR1 finish than his WR22 price tag suggests.” – Jacob Piccolo ( TrueRGM ) Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) “ Emeka Egbuka already showed us that he has the ability to produce in the most elite way.

  • Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) offers real top-five receiver upside if his hot start from last season extends across a full year, positioned as his team’s clear top receiver under a new offensive coordinator as long as the starting quarterback stays healthy.

  • While fantasy players should be excited about Emeka Egbuka , don’t forget about McMillan. Unfortunately, the former Washington star only played in the final four contests last season because of injury, averaging 7.5 PPR fantasy points per game.

  • With Mike Evans gone, Egbuka is positioned for a much larger role in Zac Robinson’s offense. He is one of the more appealing second-year breakout WR candidates in fantasy football.

  • For WR2, the lines are Terry McLaurin and Emeka Egbuka.
