Chris Olave's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.
