Chris Olave vs Travis Hunter: Who Should You Start?
There is a real production gap between these two wide receivers. Chris Olave (New Orleans Saints) averaged 13.7 PPG over 16 games in 2025, outscoring Travis Hunter (Jacksonville Jaguars, 7.1 PPG) by 6.6 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.
That 6.6-point weekly advantage for Chris Olave is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Target volume is the story here. Chris Olave saw 156 targets in 2025, while Travis Hunter drew 45. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Chris Olave, even in weeks where Travis Hunter posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Both share a Week 12 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
