DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection — not extra 0–10,000 components.
Durability ×0.98
One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Process ×0.99
Process residual (not a second production percentile).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
Olave scored 218.0 Half-PPR points in 2025 (WR6). Agreed to a four-year extension with New Orleans through 2030 worth up to $132 million ($90 million guaranteed), landing among the six highest-paid receivers in the league. 2024 stopped at 8 games; availability is the swing factor into next year. The 2026 projection still has him in every-week starter range.
