The New Orleans Saints (1-4) will host the New England Patriots (3-2) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Chris Olave.

Should You Start or Sit Chris Olave in Week 6?
Isn’t Chris Olave just less expensive Ja’Marr Chase at this point?
He’s earned 10+ targets in four of five games, but the lack of quality on that quantity has resulted in just one top 25 finish for the season (WR19 in Week 3).
I guess you could point to the Rashid Shaheed performance in Week 5 and sell yourself on hope, but this is a franchise that isn’t motivated to win games right now, and teams like that are tough to back in any capacity.
Despite all of the volume, his longest grab of the season is 17 yards, and without frequent trips to the red zone, how exactly does Olave beat me for ranking him outside of my top 25?
I don’t think he does, especially if we get the version of this Patriots defense that we saw on Sunday night.
For the season, as many passes thrown Olave’s way have hit the ground as Alvin Kamara has targets earned.
Let that sink in.
This is a good player, but he’s the definition of empty-calorie targets, and my lineup doesn’t have room for that profile.
