We are in the fourth week of the "NFL Top 100 Players of 2026." This week, players 70-61 are being revealed. Last week, two Arizona Cardinals players were revealed, as linebacker Josh Sweat was No. 78 and safety Budda Baker was No. 75.
On Thursday, player No. 64 was revealed. It was not a Cardinals player, but it was a player the Cardinals will face in 2026.
Player No. 64 is New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave.
Olave is coming off his best season in the NFL. In 16 games, he caught 100 passes for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns. He had five games of at least 98 receiving yards. He earned second-team All-Pro honors.
In Week 1 against the Cardinals, he had seven catches for 54 yards.
Saints quarterback Tyler Shough said Olave's "acceleration is incredible."
"I remember when I first got there, I had a tough time timing up with some of his routes because he was so fast," he said. "And once we started clicking, it was hard to stop."
He runs great routes. He has great speed. He has great hands. He is part of the Ohio State receiver machine.
The Cardinals will have to face him again in 2026. They take on the Saints in New Orleans in Week 16.
