I agree that Olave's value is down a little now, so may not be a good time to sell, but perhaps value has just dropped to where it belongs.
I sold both of my Olave shares this past off-season, because I felt he was being extremely over-valued.
In a 14 team SF TEP dynasty league, I traded away London, Olave, and DeVonta Smith for Tyreek, AJ Brown, and C. Kirk.
In a 12 team SF league I traded away Olave for Kelce and a 26 1st.
I have zero regrets for trading away Olave, like I said, IMO he was being over-valued by looking at his advanced metrics.
His advanced metrics showed that the only thing elite about him was his opportunity share.
His productivity and efficiency numbers were below average.
He is basically a very solid WR2 than some feel has WR1 potential.
I see him having a career similar to Robert Woods, very nice, stable WR2, who had one WR1 season in his career (2018 - WR11).
Some feel that Olave and Garrett Wilson are very close in value, I do not.
I feel that Wilson does have true WR1 potential.
He was insanely efficient; So much so that I was forced to elevate the ceiling I put on his play coming into the league. I thought he'd be a perennial WR2 and had him and Wilson as similar talents with Wilson having significant room to improve his game as he refined his route running.
Flash forward to this year and his numbers are down across the board. Doesn't seem as locked in as his rookie year and you're seeing that both on the field (with him quitting routes) and off-field where he's caught on video trying to get out of a wreckless endagerment level speeding ticket by telling the officers he's on the Saints.
I do think he's about as good as he'll ever be but where he is right now is already very impressive.
Olave was also WR42 in YAC, WR56 in fantasy points per target, WR67 in contested catch rate, WR80 in target separation, and WR72 in true catch rate.
Hard to add all of that up to insanely efficient, but whatever.
