Chris Olave (foot) limited by new injury on Thurs.
Key Points:
- Chris Olave experienced a slow start in the first half due to the Saints' offensive struggles but finished strong with his third 100-yard game in four attempts, trailing only CeeDee Lamb in receiving yards for the season's first month.
- Olave showcased his route-running skills and nearly scored three times, though some opportunities were missed due to overthrowing and tight defense; he remains a top WR1 option for upcoming games.
- Despite playing through a hamstring injury and being listed as questionable, Olave led the Saints in targets and made key receptions, including a crucial touchdown that helped the team close the score gap against the Ravens.
- Olave's injury status has been monitored closely, with precautionary practice limitations mid-week, but reports suggest his hamstring issue is minor and he is likely to play in upcoming games, maintaining his high fantasy value.
- Fantasy managers should stay alert to Olave’s practice participation and game-day status announcements, as he remains a volume-driven WR1 when active, with potential backup options like Devaughn Vele worth considering if Olave's injury worsens.
