New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (shoulder) is wearing a non-contact jersey at summer practices due to a shoulder injury he suffered in the weight room a few weeks ago. However, head coach Dennis Allen said the former first-round pick has been going through full practices anyway, so this minor ailment shouldn't cause much concern. The 23-year-old has been fantastic through his first two NFL seasons, securing 159 of his 257 targets for 2,165 yards and nine touchdowns in 31 games. While Derek Carr isn't viewed as a high-level quarterback, he's been good enough to support fantasy WR1s throughout his career. New Orleans failed to add significant target competition this offseason, meaning Olave remains a WR1 candidate in his third NFL campaign.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave grabbed all three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The second-year receiver now has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, finishing the year with 1,067 yards and four touchdowns. Olave and the Saints will now eagerly await the results of the Green Bay-Chicago game and the Seattle-Arizona game, as they can make the playoffs with a Green Bay and Seattle loss.
New Orleans Saints second-year receiver Chris Olave (ankle) has been cleared of his injury designation following limited participation in Wednesday and Thursday's practices. This will be the third-straight game that Olave will suit up for after missing Week 15 with the injury. While he disappointed last week with just three receptions for 26 yards, Olave should be thrust back into lineups for Week 18. Atlanta has allowed the fourth-least fantasy points per game to opposing receivers, but Olave will remain the top receiving option for quarterback Derek Carr.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Olave has been limited in practice. Despite that, fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned heading into the Week 18 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints are likely just limiting his reps in order to keep Olave fresh and healthy heading into this big game. Olave has been boom-or-bust lately, which makes him a tough player to trust in DFS formats for this weekend.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) continues to manage an ankle injury and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice session. Olave sat out in Week 15 because of his ankle injury, but he returned in Week 16 to post nine catches on 13 targets for a season-high 123 yards and a two-point conversion. In last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though, he wasn't needed as much and caught three passes for 26 yards on six targets. The 23-year-old second-year wideout will be looking for a bounce-back performance in a must-win game for the Saints in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons. There should be nothing from stopping Olave from playing this weekend, where he'll be a low-end WR1 for fantasy managers. In the Week 12 loss to the Falcons, Olave had a strong game, going for seven catches on nine targets for 114 yards.
