Chris Olave Draws Tough Matchup In Week 5

Chris Olave Draws Tough Matchup In Week 5

one year ago

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave had a shaky Week 4, grabbing just one reception for four yards on six targets against Tampa Bay. In New England this week, it will likely be an even lower-scoring affair between the two teams. While the Patriots' rookie shutdown corner Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) is out for the season, New England still ranks as the 10th-best defense against wide receivers. While Olave should bounce-back from last week's rough outing, he is by no means guaranteed to perform better this week. That being said, New England has allowed at least four receptions to each opponent's WR1 this season. It may be tough to bench Olave due to draft capital, but this is not the type of matchup he can be confidently inserted into lineups in.
