Their 2025 seasons

That came to 9.8 targets a game, a 64 percent catch rate and 11.6 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 84 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Germie Bernard is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Head to head

This season Chris Olave holds the bigger snap share, 86 percent against 48 percent.

This season Chris Olave holds the bigger target share, 27 percent against 15 percent.

Byes and availability

Chris Olave is off in Week 8 and Germie Bernard in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

4.2 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
