The New Orleans Saints just secured a weapon at No. 136 in Bryce Lance, a 6-foot-3 WR who dominated the NFL Combine with a 4.34-second 40-yard dash and an elite 115.6 Speed Score (98th-percentile). Lance is an analytical sleeper who transitioned from special teams to a dominant WR profile, posting back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns at North Dakota State fueled by a 21.2 Yards Per Reception and elite lower-body explosion—verified by a 41.5-inch vertical jump.
In dynasty formats, the big winner of this pick is Tyler Shough, who now has gotten new weapons in WR Jordyn Tyson, TE Oscar Delp and Lance added to join Chris Olave. However, Lance may have to wait a year or two to become fantasy relevant.

The New Orleans Saints just landed an absolute weapon at No. 8 overall in Jordyn Tyson, a potential alpha with an elite 18.1 Breakout Age (99th-percentile) that proves he was dominating grown men while his peers were still at prom. Tyson is an analytical god with a massive 46.8% College Dominator Rating and a 34.2% Target Share that scream “high-volume target hog,” and he’s now stepping into a Saints offense desperate for a three-level separator who can win at the catch point.
For dynasty purposes, it’s wheels up for Tyson as a locked-in Top-5 rookie pick with an elite WR1 ceiling, especially considering his 3.04 Yards Per Route Run and the high-leverage opportunity he’ll command from Day 1 in the Big Easy. The secondary winner here is Tyler Shough, who now enters year two with Chris Olave and Tyson on the outside and new addition Travis Etienne in the backfield.
Week 18 injuries and depth charts are ever shifting due to team playoff status and player incentives. It was recently discovered that Saints wide receiver Chris Olave had a blood clot in his lung.
Fortunately, the clot was detected and Olave is in good condition. He had expressed a desire to complete a 17 game season after numerous concussions the last few seasons. Olave’s dynasty value has improved tremendously as he finishes 2025 with 100 receptions, 1,163 receiving yards, and 9 touchdowns. His 16.8 fantasy points per game rank 7th and he will look to duplicate these numbers in year 5 at age 26.

The New Orleans Saints knocked off the Tennessee Titans 34-26 in Week 17, with Chris Olave leading the way as the top fantasy producer. Heading into Sunday Night Football, Olave sits as the overall wide receiver 1 of the week in Fantasy Championship matchups. He was Tyler Shough’s top target, as the Saints quarterback threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns.
Besides Olave, Juwan Johnson also had a big day, finishing with four receptions for 95 yards. While the Saints’ passing game carried the offense, Audric Estime led the ground attack with 94 yards and a touchdown.
On the other side, the Titans continue to show improvement behind first overall pick Cam Ward. Ward finished with over 250 passing yards and two touchdowns, but costly mistake proved too much to overcome in loss.

The Saints and fantasy managers had a slight injury scare when Chris Olave popped up on the injury report with a back injury on Friday. He is now set to play Sunday against the Titans.
With a late week injury report, it is prudent to monitor the situation, but as it sits, Olave will be traveling with the team and the team has expressed optimism regarding Olave’s status. Olave has been a target monster this year after battling concussions early in his career. Fire him up in a juicy matchup against the Titans.

The New Orleans Saints gutted out a come from behind win over the Carolina Panthers to complete their sweep of their division rivals. Saints quarterback Tyler Shough was efficient completing passes to 8 different players. The top beneficiary was star receiver Chris Olave with 6 catches for 85 yards and a touchdown.
Chris Olave was WR7 this season coming into this game. You wouldn’t know it because of the 4 wins the Saints have had all year. As long as Olave can stay healthy, he has shown to be a very reliable fantasy target. Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough has shown enough thus far to continue as the starting quarterback next year and that should bode well for the future for Olave.
