Chris Olave vs Sam LaPorta: Who Should You Start?
Comparing Chris Olave (WR, New Orleans Saints) against Sam LaPorta (TE, Detroit Lions) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Chris Olave averaged 13.7 PPG in 2025 over 16 games, while Sam LaPorta posted 9.7 PPG across 9 games.
Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.
DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.
Chris Olave has his bye in Week 12, Sam LaPorta in Week 5. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
