“Chris Olave’s brother puts Saints offense in overdrive due to lack of targets”

It's two nights in a row where a top wideout is completely ignored by his team. On Sunday, the Cowboys targeted CeeDee Lamb just once in the second half. The New Orleans Saints give their best receiver the cold shoulder on Monday evening and face the Kansas City Chiefs of all teams.

The Saints' top wideout Chris Olave was a ghost on Monday Night Football – he was targeted just once in the first half.

If no one noticed the lack of targets for Olave (a legitimate top receiver in the league), his brother did.

Olave's brother Josh aired his grievances on social media during the primetime game and demanded answers from Saints OC Klint Kubiak.

Olave entered the break with a catch for four yards.

Not exactly the preferred statistic from a guy with back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons.

Last week, Carr targeted Olave 10 times for eight catches and 87 yards.

Honestly, we're not sure who had a worse night: the gracious Olave or the ESPN fans at home who had to listen to Joe Buck's references to Taylor Swift.

If you're a fantasy manager hoping to win a match based on Olave's performance on Monday, it's better to turn off the phone and get going early.

“Free 12. Send him to Buffalo,” one fan suggested in Josh Olave’s post.

Derek Carr's favorite target of the night was sophomore Rashid Shaheed – who had a 43-yard score in the second quarter.

Things took a turn for the worse for the Saints' offense when Carr left the game early due to an oblique injury, opening the door for Jake Haener.

If that name sounds familiar, it's probably because of Haener's PED suspension in 2023…not his death.

Expect Chris Olave to be candid about his two-catch, 10-yard night.
