When breaking down Olave's performance by the situation, he is great at nearly everything. He’s been at his best when open against man in single coverage, but he’s also still better than most receivers in more difficult situations. His biggest issue is that the Saints quarterbacks haven’t thrown to him as much when he’s double-covered compared to other elite wide receivers.
Possibly the biggest reason to be excited for Olave is the addition of Klint Kubiak. Former Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael rotated his wide receivers more than nearly every other team. Olave has never exceeded 90% of offensive snaps in a game, and his median game of 2023 was 76.5%. A lot of the plays he was off the field for were run plays, but the rotation was enough to keep him sidelined for 13% of the Saints' pass plays last season. He should record a 90%-plus route participation clip this year.
Olave should be considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. He finished as the WR16 last season, and it’s fair to expect him to run more routes this year, leading to more production. It’s fair to expect his best season yet — but not too much better with Derek Carr at quarterback.
