Chris Olave vs Garrett Wilson: The Full Breakdown
Deciding between Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The New Orleans Saints wide receiver put up 13.6 PPG in 2025 over 16 games; Garrett Wilson of the New York Jets averaged 11.6 in 7. A 2.0-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.0 points favors Chris Olave, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Target volume is the story here. Chris Olave saw 156 targets in 2025, while Garrett Wilson drew 59. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Chris Olave, even in weeks where Garrett Wilson posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Chris Olave has his bye in Week 8, and Garrett Wilson rests in Week 13. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
