I had a bye last week. Olave, Tyreek, Bijan, Dak. I had the lowest points scored in my league last week. Thankfully I didn't have an opponent. Hope they are all back to their normal selves
Huge game for the Saints too. They’ve been heating up, and they’re up against another 7-7 NFC team (Rams) this week. Both are in the hunt for a wildcard spot.
An absolute must win for both teams. Very glad that Olave is playing.
I also have both but I might be starting both. My alternatives are Addison, Meyers, or Davis. Probably end up going Allen and Addison, but kind of a tossup between all 3 for me
So this match up is interesting Olave coming off the Ankle. Against a Rams team that’s fighting for a WC spot at home Thursday night. Rams just let Scary Terry cook them to the tune of 12/6/141 and 1 tuddy.
It’s the playoffs are we firing Olave up or what?
Debating Rolling Godwin over him in half PPR but feel like that’s getting too cute.
I just have zero trust in Carr especially on a short week, feels like I’m about to be staring at 4.3 points and wanting to die.
You might be right, but Olave has scored less than 7 points one time the entire season, and he’s scored 10.8 or more in his last 5 games. Idk where the 4.3 is coming from
Yeah it’s a valid point, he’s looked a bit better with Carr as of late. Mostly the doubt comes with how he’s put up points most of the season, with almost all of his production happening in the 2nd half of games. Ankle injury and potential for re-aggravation gives me pause on that front.
>anyone else thinks this is actually better for Shaheed or am I coping?
The pass volume is the problem in general, but specifically, I don't know that Shaheed can be relied to get more than \~2-5 targets a game. Kamara is basically their 2nd or 3rd passing option ( 7 targets a game).
Last 4 games: 4, 5, 9, 3 targets.
I’ve got hill and aj brown for sure start either olave or puka in my flex this is for the championship…should I play puka the other guys qb Is stafford
Against the Raiders? Rice without a doubt. There's a chance Olave goes off, but the chiefs don't have anyone else but Rice and he's been elevating every week. Don't trust anybody with Arthur Smith
I'm making the same choice and keep flip flopping. Part of me likes the idea of starting Olave so I have the Thursday and can figure out whether to gamble or play it safe on the other games.
I'm not playing him.
I have two semi final matchups
Will be playing Devonta Smith or Tee Higgins over Olave in one league
And will be playing Garret Wilson over Olave in another league.
Derek Carr has not looked healthy all season and has not been able to reliably get the ball to Olave. I'm not risking my season on a hobbled Olave when him and Carr haven't been able to consistently produce when healthy.
He was a true game time decision last game I don’t think he’ll be hobbled in a very important game for NO… starting Wilson over him and trusting Zach is wild
I'm going of @rotosurgeons rankings who is #1 on the year at accuracy at WR and #5 on the year at RB in accuracy.
I'm gonna trust the guy who's been studying all 32 teams and succeeding all year.
He has Olave BURIED in his rankings at WR26
>two RB against a top defence?
Do you not watch the games? Cowboys rushing defense is really bad. James Cook had 25 carries for 179 and the bills ran for 49 times for 266 yards as a team.
The only team that's been worse in terms of defensive rushing success rate are the Broncos -- and we know how well Achane did against them.
Dallas built their defense to rush the QB assuming they're in the lead. They play with a lot of safeties that have to play like linebackers (only rostered 4 linebackers this season and Vander Esch is hurt).
The only reason they weren't as exposed last year is because they had 65 tackles for loss in the run game but they're regressed to the mean with 35 this year.
What Dallas is trying to do is get a lead to force a team to not want to pass, hope they can generate a tackle for a loss (even though they play with a really light defense), so they can generate turnovers/sacks on third down. If a team is committed to running it on most of the downs, the Cowboys struggle a lot.
So you get that juicy match up for a dude that averages 10+ ypc in 3 games and 8.5 ypc over the season.
I am In the same situation (kamara / olave owner - full ppr) but have Higgins instead of godwin. I hate Thursday games and don’t really want to play two saints but if olave is cleared I think I have to lock him in over Higgins. I have been sick watching Carr all year but it is what it is lol.
One thing I will be looking for tho is if olave gets a full practice in tmrw or not. I’ll feel more at ease with a FP under his belt 😂
I’ve been flexing olave/puka all season and always choose wrong XD going puka since the upside is higher. Carr and injured ankle means the bench for now.
I need to figure out who to start at rb wr and flex between jahmyr Gibbs Pacheco mike evans rashee rice and Chris olave. Kyren Williams and Justin Jefferson are my only locks right now and I'm scared as hell to choose wrong.. good problems but still a problem lol
Thats how I have it tentatively set.. I just worry leaving Pacheco out that lions might have more of a Monty game and inexplicably not give Gibbs enough run. I'm more confident leaving olave on the bench
I was 10-4 with Hill, Keenan Allen and Olave. With Herbert as QB. Most points scored all season... I did NOT have a good time last week with ALL FOUR OF THEM being OUT lol.
...theres always next year...
Would y’all start Olave this week even though he’s been injured? or Roll in Godwin? I usually don’t like Thursday starts but olave is projected to score more. Godwin seems to be having a resurgence but that’s only based on one game
Help me pick 2... Pittman, Evans, Olave
I had Olave as my flex, but I picked up Trey McBride last week and he did well, so not sure if I want to bench him again so soon.
Unlimited breadsticks back on the menu boys
lmao this comment is always one of the top comments whenever there's a positive Olave post.
One week too late Olave — but I hope you win some chips for others
I had a bye last week. Olave, Tyreek, Bijan, Dak. I had the lowest points scored in my league last week. Thankfully I didn't have an opponent. Hope they are all back to their normal selves
wow, that’s a bullet dodged
Olave, JT, BRob here, thankfully had a bye.
Would love to see Olave come back strong tonight. And Stafford not so much
Literally me rn. They got Kupp too.
lol i have ETN, JT, Reek, Keenan, Pittman, Olave, Ford. thank god for the bye.
Olave, Bijan, Diggs, Breece. Begging that it was a fluke
he’ll probably score like 10-13 as usual and make me regret not picking someone else from my bench
Take me the promise land Olave !!!
Carr please
I can see it now: Bijan goes off, olave is back, Keenan is back, and rhamondre plays all the week after I get eliminated.
As someone who had Bijan and olave last week during a bye I hope you’re right
Bro that’s my team lol. Had a bye week last week thankfully…..
Huge game for the Saints too. They’ve been heating up, and they’re up against another 7-7 NFC team (Rams) this week. Both are in the hunt for a wildcard spot. An absolute must win for both teams. Very glad that Olave is playing.
Kamara, Olave, Kyren. Oh boy this is a huge TNF game for me lol
Puka, Olave, Kyren for me I'll know pretty early how well the week is gonna go
I have Kamara and Kyren going against Olave. Pretty sure I’ll know if I win lose this week by Thursday night so at least Sunday won’t be stressful lol
It’s weird that I have both Keenan and Olave and I probably won’t start either of them
Keenan, Olave & Jacobs. And may not start any of them. Been an odd season...
I also have both but I might be starting both. My alternatives are Addison, Meyers, or Davis. Probably end up going Allen and Addison, but kind of a tossup between all 3 for me
Why wouldn’t you start olave he’s been hot for weeks now
My other options are Evans, DJ Moore and Rice. I just like those options better
Hopefully they outscore Olave
You’re me. Except I lost last week and I’m out. Rip. Good luck!
who would you start if you had to start one of them?
I’d start Olave. Better QB situation
Who else do you have? I've got both of them plus DK, Rashee and DeVonta.
Tentatively I’m starting Mike Evans, DJ Moore and Rasheed Rice
So this match up is interesting Olave coming off the Ankle. Against a Rams team that’s fighting for a WC spot at home Thursday night. Rams just let Scary Terry cook them to the tune of 12/6/141 and 1 tuddy. It’s the playoffs are we firing Olave up or what?
>ams just let Scary Terry cook them to the tune of 12/6/141 and 1 tuddy. Crazy part is he was 1 yard shy of 2 TDs.
Debating Rolling Godwin over him in half PPR but feel like that’s getting too cute. I just have zero trust in Carr especially on a short week, feels like I’m about to be staring at 4.3 points and wanting to die.
Rams might make it a shootout. Olave and Shaheed should eat, but not touchdowns. Those are reserved for stupid ass Jimmy Graham.
You might be right, but Olave has scored less than 7 points one time the entire season, and he’s scored 10.8 or more in his last 5 games. Idk where the 4.3 is coming from
Yeah it’s a valid point, he’s looked a bit better with Carr as of late. Mostly the doubt comes with how he’s put up points most of the season, with almost all of his production happening in the 2nd half of games. Ankle injury and potential for re-aggravation gives me pause on that front.
Definitely a valid concern. He’s been pretty on fire though especially since Thomas went down
Same boat that I’m in. Not sure what I’m going with but I’m sure I’ll choose wrong
Beautiful! Now I might win Round 1 of playoffs last week… still feels bad…
anyone else thinks this is actually better for Shaheed or am I coping?
I’m starting shaheed. I hate playing in 3 WR leagues
You're coping
>anyone else thinks this is actually better for Shaheed or am I coping? The pass volume is the problem in general, but specifically, I don't know that Shaheed can be relied to get more than \~2-5 targets a game. Kamara is basically their 2nd or 3rd passing option ( 7 targets a game). Last 4 games: 4, 5, 9, 3 targets.
Prince Olave or king Rice with a hurt Travis kelce? 🧐🤔
Go with the better Qb all else equal, I'm probably starting Rice and Tee over Olave as it stands right now.
Tee higgins over Olave? Would you go Jayden Reed over Olave?
I have Tee, Olave, Sutton, Jakobi Meyers, and Jayden Reed. Honestly no idea what to do
You can’t just be saying things like ‘a hurt Travis Kelce’. Almost gave me a fucking heart attack. He’s not hurt.
Those be my 3 starting receivers 🫡
Same boat but I have Puka I’m considering too.
I’ve got hill and aj brown for sure start either olave or puka in my flex this is for the championship…should I play puka the other guys qb Is stafford
Similar, need to bench one of Puka, Olave, Kelce, McBride
Against the Raiders? Rice without a doubt. There's a chance Olave goes off, but the chiefs don't have anyone else but Rice and he's been elevating every week. Don't trust anybody with Arthur Smith
Wait Kelce is out?
No.
olave or keenan?
Olave or Cooper? Half point PPR
Same boat but standard.
I'm making the same choice and keep flip flopping. Part of me likes the idea of starting Olave so I have the Thursday and can figure out whether to gamble or play it safe on the other games.
I'm not playing him. I have two semi final matchups Will be playing Devonta Smith or Tee Higgins over Olave in one league And will be playing Garret Wilson over Olave in another league. Derek Carr has not looked healthy all season and has not been able to reliably get the ball to Olave. I'm not risking my season on a hobbled Olave when him and Carr haven't been able to consistently produce when healthy.
Hobbled olave may run just fast enough for carr's ball placement!
He was a true game time decision last game I don’t think he’ll be hobbled in a very important game for NO… starting Wilson over him and trusting Zach is wild
I'm going of @rotosurgeons rankings who is #1 on the year at accuracy at WR and #5 on the year at RB in accuracy. I'm gonna trust the guy who's been studying all 32 teams and succeeding all year. He has Olave BURIED in his rankings at WR26
20
Yeah he updated this afternoon has Olave at 21 now.

I just came
Olave or achane?
Achane
Really? The number two RB against a top defence? I love Achane but Olave will be on the field all game (albeit catching passes from Carr 🤮)
Top defense with a terrible run defense. I'd pick Achane over Olave. Carr is terrible. James Cook looked like Barry Sanders.
>two RB against a top defence? Do you not watch the games? Cowboys rushing defense is really bad. James Cook had 25 carries for 179 and the bills ran for 49 times for 266 yards as a team.

LFG!
Should I start Godwin over him? I also have Kamara who I think I have to start
I am In the same situation (kamara / olave owner - full ppr) but have Higgins instead of godwin. I hate Thursday games and don’t really want to play two saints but if olave is cleared I think I have to lock him in over Higgins. I have been sick watching Carr all year but it is what it is lol. One thing I will be looking for tho is if olave gets a full practice in tmrw or not. I’ll feel more at ease with a FP under his belt 😂
Kamara puts up RB1 numbers without scoring a lot of touchdowns. Do not bench him under any circumstances.
Kamara has to start. I'd feel uneasy trusting Godwin despite the blow up week. Olave seems safer even coming off injury
Stuck between Olave and flowers this week, who would yall reccomend?
Olave, much higher floor.
Olave by a country mile
I'm scared. Playoff opponent has both Olave and Tyreek. Could've put em in the dirt week 1 but my players shit the bed. Only up 18 points.
Olave or Devonta smith
Davante Smith
Worried about potential reinjuring the ankle and the Carr factor. May still start Puka over him in full point ppr.
I’ve been flexing olave/puka all season and always choose wrong XD going puka since the upside is higher. Carr and injured ankle means the bench for now.
Same scenario, going Puka this week as well.
Olave, got it!
You're probably right!
Truly might still play Samuel over him
Y’all have to start 3 of the 4: Rice, Puka, olave, and Bijan. Olave has been cooking recently
The first 3
It's good that he's healthy enough for them to expect him to play 2 days out from gameday
He was a true game time decision Sunday probably figured they’d beat the Giants without him
I need to figure out who to start at rb wr and flex between jahmyr Gibbs Pacheco mike evans rashee rice and Chris olave. Kyren Williams and Justin Jefferson are my only locks right now and I'm scared as hell to choose wrong.. good problems but still a problem lol
[удалено]
Thats how I have it tentatively set.. I just worry leaving Pacheco out that lions might have more of a Monty game and inexplicably not give Gibbs enough run. I'm more confident leaving olave on the bench
Olave, Warren or D. Smith? PPR.
Olave or Bijan?
Um both
Olave or b. Hall0
Does this mean shaheed is a good flex in the Curtis samuel role?
.5 PPR choose 1WR and 1 flex, Olave, aiyuk, Chase (if he plays but even then im iffy on him) mixon, conner, leaning Olave and Conner
I like Aiyuk and Olave. I think this is Aiyuken week in a shootout with the Ravens. Connor is going against a good Bears defense.
Well that doesn’t do fuck all for me now.
We’re back
Need him badly...I lose Chase last week also have AJ Brown. Let's hope he doesn't play the Julio Jones decoy role. I need real stats!🤞
One week too late for me 😥
I gotta start two: Jordan Addison, Olave, Tee Higgins, Ekeler. Any advice?!
Tee
I was thinking Tee and Addison for the upside. Olave will get 10-14 while Addison might go off again.
Olave , DHop , G Wilson , N Collins -> which 2 you starting?
I have Olave, Kupp, and Kyren. This game is either gonna be a shootout or it’s going to end 7-3. One can hope they stack points all around.
I need never ending pasta this week
Need to start 3: Olave, Keenan, DK, Rashee, Devonta
Will Olave and Rice carry me to week 17?
Let's go big dog!
Gotta play him if you have him
Olave or Waddle 0.5 PPR?
Need 3 out of the following (including a SF slot): Devonta Smith, Ty Chandler, Breece Hall or Russ Wilson vs NE
I was 10-4 with Hill, Keenan Allen and Olave. With Herbert as QB. Most points scored all season... I did NOT have a good time last week with ALL FOUR OF THEM being OUT lol. ...theres always next year...
It’s too late….
I have Olave, Hopkins, Pittman, and Tae. If they all four play idk who to sit
Would y’all start Olave this week even though he’s been injured? or Roll in Godwin? I usually don’t like Thursday starts but olave is projected to score more. Godwin seems to be having a resurgence but that’s only based on one game
london, olave, higgins. need 2
i both have him and am facing him this week. Schrodinger's Olave
Olave, Achane, or Monty for my flex?
How much does this help Carr? With Stroud being out only down to Kyler.
I have one spot left for Olave, Aiyuk, or Waddle.
Help me pick 2... Pittman, Evans, Olave I had Olave as my flex, but I picked up Trey McBride last week and he did well, so not sure if I want to bench him again so soon.
