86: high-end starter

One number for how well Olave has actually played lately, not a talent rating. 70% is the skill profile, weighted towards efficiency; the rest is how steady his games are and whether he still produces against the better defences. Ranked against every qualified wide receiver; 99 is the best. Over the last three seasons he scores 83 (#33 of 121).

The read
  1. Las Vegas rank 28th against intermediate throws, which make up 27% of Olave's targets.
  2. Work the right side: 39% of his targets go that way and Las Vegas rank 22nd defending throws there.
  3. Free data doesn't show who covers whom on each snap, so this is the defence's profile, not a confirmed one-on-one.
