Chris Olave Receiving Yards Pick for Falcons vs. Saints

Best Bet: Chris Olave 90+ Receiving Yards (+102)

It’s always fun when a quarterback dials in on his top receiver. And it’s exactly what’s happening in New Orleans, with Tyler Shough feeding Chris Olave at an incredible rate to start the season. 

Olave, 26, is the nucleus of a Saints offense that leads the NFL in pass attempts per game (44). The former first-rounder out of Ohio State has commanded a massive 29 percent target share and ranks fifth in the NFL in receptions (27) and sixth in receiving yards (375). He has recorded at least 86 yards in each of his first three games, including a career-high 182 yards in Week 1 against the Lions. 

With this much gravity in the offense, Olave has a golden opportunity to gash a porous Atlanta pass defense that has allowed the NFL’s third-most passing yards per game early on (263). The Falcons allowed 101 receiving yards to Tetairoa McMillan in Week 2 before surrendering 90+ yards to both Matthew Golden and Christian Watson in Week 3.

At plus odds, there’s tantalizing value in backing Olave to crush 90+ receiving yards for the third time this year.
