FANTASY FOOTBALL BUST OF THE WEEK (6)
EXTRA VIRGIN OLAVE

When I put Olave as the Bust of the Week, he has been going off. Week 1, 112 yards. Week 3, 104 Yards. Since Olave’s performance in Week 3, he has totaled 16 Yards. Yes, that is correct, Week 4/4 yards, Week 5/12 Yards. Chris did score a TD in Week 5 which helped boast that 12 yards into almost back-2-back disasters for the Sheep’s 2nd Round Pick. BEAST DOME BUST DRAFT GUIDE.
Week 6, Chris Olave makes it back to my featured sheep that will be the BUST OF THE WEEK, maybe it will get him going. The trend of playing like a WR3/4 in Fantasy Football and doing nothing for your fantasy team will continue for Olave. While you could count game flow as the problem in Week 5 with the game being over instantly, you cannot ignore that Olave is just not a reliable Fantasy option as long as Derek Carr is his QB. The Saints play a Texans Defense that at first makes you think, wow what a great matchup, but then when you look at this team closely you learn more. You see a defense led by a defensive-minded head coach, that is shutting down good offenses all season long from Baltimore to Jacksonville. Derek Carr is never a safe option on the road, and the Saints are once again for the sixth time in a row, not looking for a shootout. If Chris Olave was on the Chiefs, sure he would be great. However with Derek Carr as his QB, who only attempts 1-3 deep passes per game total, your odds of hitting a good fantasy day with Olave are very slim.
My prediction for Olave in Week 6; 4 catches/51 yards with a 50% chance to score a TD. With his likely no TD, 50% is very average on my scale, Olave will once again be a disappointment and his fantasy owners will start their panic realizing they wasted their 2nd Round Pick who has already cost his fantasy teams back-to-back games.
