NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Saints WR Chris Olave is dealing with a hamstring issue that is currently not expected to be serious, though his Friday practice status will be crucial for clarity on the injury.
- Olave recently returned to full practice after recovering from blood clots in his lungs last season, having been on blood thinners throughout the offseason but set to discontinue them soon.
- Despite early season concerns, Olave has shown strong fantasy potential with multiple long gains and remains a top WR1 option in the Saints’ ascending offense.
- Saints coach Kellen Moore confirmed Olave is "all good" after a minor incident during practice, and Olave is expected to continue playing a major role alongside emerging WR Jalin Hyatt and rookie Zay Flowers.
- Olave, entering the final year of his rookie deal, is likely to receive a lucrative contract extension soon, reflecting his status as a key offensive weapon for New Orleans moving forward.
