Chris Olave Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is officially active for Sunday's divisional game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. Olave dealt with some back spasms late last week but was eventually cleared to play against the Miami Dolphins and finished with four catches on seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the 21-17 loss. The 25-year-old was listed as questionable on the final Week 14 injury report, but he will be active again and should be considered a must-start in all fantasy football lineups. Olave ranks as the WR9 in half-PPR fantasy points in 2025 with 73 catches for 781 yards and five touchdowns on 115 targets despite having to work with quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough. The former first-rounder caught eight of 12 targets for 63 yards in the first game against the Bucs this year, back on Oct. 26.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the New Orleans Saints expect to have wide receiver Chris Olave (back) for Sunday's divisional clash with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave popped up on the Saints' practice report last week with back spasms, but would ultimately play his usual allotment of snaps in their loss to Miami despite two limited practices and a DNP. He'd follow a similar regimen at practice this week, and it seems he'll play through the issue again. Fellow wideout Devaughn Vele has come on recently as a decent secondary option. However, Olave should see substantial utilization, particularly with running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) set to miss another contest. He's a solid WR2 if not held back by his injury.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave caught four of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. He battled back spasms throughout the week but was ultimately able to play, and the injury has continued to limit him this week in practice. Officially listed as questionable for Week 14 against Tampa Bay, Olave would be the clear top option in a New Orleans offense operating without Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee). He ranks second in the league with 115 targets this season and has recorded 21 receptions for 278 yards and two touchdowns over four games with Tyler Shough under center. If he plays, Olave projects as a WR1 in a pass-heavy matchup against a Buccaneers defense giving up the fourth-most passing yards per game.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is officially listed as questionable for Week 14's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave was held out of Wednesday's practice before being a limited participant on Thursday and Friday, a similar progression to last week when he was ultimately able to suit up against the Miami Dolphins. The 25-year-old didn't seem affected by the injury last week, posting his normal route share and recording four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in the loss to Miami. He is trending toward playing through the injury again and profiles as a top-10 wide receiver option for Sunday's matchup against the division-rival Buccaneers. In the first meeting with Tampa on Oct. 26, Olave had eight catches on 12 targets for 63 yards.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's injury report after being held out of practice on Wednesday. The 25-year-old followed a similar practice progression due to the ongoing back issue last week and was ultimately able to play in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, recording four catches for 47 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Assuming Olave can avoid any setbacks, he could be trending towards playing through his back troubles again in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave has been targeted a whopping 115 times this season across 12 games, hauling in 73 catches for 781 yards and five touchdowns. As long as he's active, Olave profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) was listed as a non-participant during Wednesday's practice due to a back injury, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Olave dealt with some back spasms late last week and was considered questionable to play in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, but he ended up playing and catching four of seven targets for 47 yards and his fifth touchdown of the year. The 25-year-old's back flared up after Sunday's game in Miami, though, which could make him questionable for the second straight week. As long as Olave is able to return to practice later this week, though, he should be able to play this weekend versus the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Olave is a must-start fantasy wideout when he's active. In the previous meeting with Tampa on Oct. 26, Olave caught eight of his 12 targets for 63 yards.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is officially active for Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Olave was dealing with back spasms earlier in the week and missed Thursday's practice, but was expected to still suit up and is now officially active. The 25-year-old has had a strong season so far, recording 69 receptions for 734 yards and four touchdowns on 108 targets in 11 games. Olave ranks as RotoBaller's WR18 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, the New Orleans Saints anticipate wide receiver Chris Olave (back) to suit up for Sunday's road tilt with the Miami Dolphins. The fourth-year pro was forced from practice earlier in the week after dealing with back spasms that eventually made him miss Thursday's session altogether. However, Olave appears on track to play despite the inconvenience. In the case that he might be limited during the game, fantasy managers can expect teammates Kevin Austin Jr. and Mason Tipton to pick up more snaps behind Devaughn Vele. Otherwise, Olave projects as a strong WR2 option, even against a Dolphins' defense that's been less-than-favorable to fantasy wideouts.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Olave was held out of practice completely on Thursday before getting in a limited session on Friday. When healthy, Olave is a must-start in fantasy leagues as the top option on this offense. Through 11 games, Olave has hauled in 69 receptions for 734 yards and four touchdowns this season. The change at quarterback hasn't impacted his fantasy value at all. He should be plugged in as a WR1 for this weekend, assuming he's able to play. Otherwise, Devaughn Vele, Mason Tipton, and Juwan Johnson would see increased volume.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is officially questionable to play in his team's Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins due to a back injury. Olave was a limited practice participant on Friday due to the injury after being held out of practice completely on Thursday. Across 11 games this season, the 25-year-old has hauled in 69 catches for 734 yards and four touchdowns on 108 targets. If unable to go in Week 13, Saints tight end Juwan Johnson might be the team's leading target earner against Miami, while wide receivers Devaughn Vele and Mason Tipton would likely both see an uptick in playing time. Should Olave be able to play, he's a good bet for double-digit targets and profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in PPR formats.
