00:00New Orleans at the Chargers here.

00:02What do you expect to happen?

00:04And again, what are the pitfalls?

00:05Where should we avoid?

00:07How the problem is Olave is coming back.

00:10He's been in concussion protocol.

00:11He's going to play this week.

00:12But the problem is he's playing with Spencer Rattler.

00:14So Rattler's had a couple moments, but nothing really to

00:17write home about.

00:18So not the best situation.

00:21If you're desperate at wide receiver and you need to play

00:23him, I understand, but you have to temper your expectations

00:25going against the Chargers defense.

00:28Chargers defense has been improved year over year.

00:30They're also coming off a tough loss and you know, Harbaugh

00:32is probably riding those guys hard.

00:34So, you know, they're probably going to come out like

00:35gangbusters against that rookie quarterback and be aggressive

00:38and that could be a bad time for Spencer Rattler and maybe

00:42a bad time for Chris Olave too.

00:43So I'd be fading him this week if I could avoid it.

00:45Hopefully get Derek Carr back next week.

00:47He was already throwing this week.

00:48That's very encouraging.

00:49So what you want is Derek Carr to be healthy, come back,

00:53make Chris Olave relevant again.

00:54And now that Rasheed Jaheed is out for the year, Chris

00:56Olave gets a huge potential piece of that target share

00:59in that offense.

01:00And we know who that other guy is going to be quite yet,

01:03but we could speculate maybe it is a Bub Means or somebody

01:06like that.

01:06But time will tell.

01:08In the meantime, Chris Olave is a fade for me this week

01:10in week eight.
