With the NFL trade deadline just over a week away, New Orleans Saints’ Chris Olave has emerged as one of the most talked-about wide receiver trade candidates. The Bills, Eagles, Giants, Patriots, and Steelers, among others, have been linked to Olave. Rumors are circulating that the Saints might consider moving the 25-year-old receiver before the November 4th deadline. Given New Orleans’ struggles (1-6), their timeline for rebuilding into an NFC contender might not align with Olave’s prime, which is arguably now. Furthermore, he’s only signed through the 2026 season. If the team isn’t confident in extending Olave’s contract, it could be advantageous to acquire assets from a receiver-needy team with Super Bowl aspirations. However, Olave’s value is increasing with each game this year. The 6-foot, 187-pound wideout is having a solid rebound season. After several years of missing in 2024, Olave is almost the worst in New Orleans’ receiving categories, receptions (44), Targets (71), receiving yards (440), and touchdowns (three). He is taking long runs at speed and setting up Touchdowns. Over the past two weeks, he’s had six catches for 98 yards against the Patriots and five catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns against the Bears. “I feel like I’m getting in a groove, this last game, this game,” Olave said after last week’s game. “So I feel like it’s only going to get better.” Selesnick, who is 1,014-805 and up $3,003 in all bundles with SportsLine since 2021, carries Olave Plus 61.5 receiving yards (-118) as one of his top three 8-week player props that he isn’t matching against in the NFL. The Buccaneers’ Tampa Bay defense allows 229.0 passing drop yards per game, which is 21st in the league. That defense is also without pass rusher Hasson Reddick (ankle, knee), who is out, and lineman Vita Vea (foot), who is questionable. “Olave’s target share, targets run per route, first-read target rate, and expected points per game all add up to untouchable,” Selesnick said. “With a matchup against a Bucs defense that is supposed to funnel jumps passes and lacks numbers in the first place, this is a spot where Olave can deliver another strong performance.” He stated that his representation and the front office have been discussing extension terms “since the start of the year,” which should certainly please fans, just like much of his story.
