Chris Olave Fantasy Stats

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.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) returned to practice on Friday after beginning the week as a limited participant before a DNP on Thursday. While it's worth monitoring the team's injury report to see his exact level of participation, the fact that he was able to return at all is a positive sign for his availability before a Week 13 matchup with the Dolphins. Olave has been one of this season's most unheralded fantasy producers, currently the WR12 in half-PPR formats, and his involvement has not wavered since rookie Tyler Shough took over as the team's starter. In the two games since New Orleans dealt Rashid Shaheed to the Seahawks, Olave has caught 14 of his 21 targets for 174 yards and a score. Miami boasts a top-10 defense against fantasy wide receivers, but if Olave is cleared to play, he remains a locked-in starter and the clear focal point of the Saints offense, especially with Alvin Kamara trending towards missing his first game of the year.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports. Head coach Kellen Moore downplayed the injury on Wednesday after Olave practiced in a limited capacity due to back spasms, but there is some concern after he was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday. Friday will be an important day for fantasy managers to monitor the 25-year-old wideout's status for Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. If Olave were to miss Sunday's game, tight end Juwan Johnson and wide receiver Devaughn Vele figure to see more opportunities, with Johnson likely to rank as a borderline TE1 for Week 13.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's practice session. It sounds like Olave is dealing with a minor back issue, so the team pulled him out of drills as a precaution. Fantasy managers should consider Olave as day-to-day. He figures to be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report over the next two days. If active, fantasy managers should be able to trust Olave as a WR2 for Week 13.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in five receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Week 10 victory against the Panthers. Olave's first 100-yard game of the season was highlighted by a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Saints already traded Rashid Shaheed at the deadline and have also ruled out Brandin Cooks, as the team is set to waive him at his request. This opens up even more opportunity for Olave, who is already third in the league in targets. He'll carry a 60-664-4 line into a matchup against the Falcons, who just allowed 448 passing yards to Bryce Young and the Panthers. Olave is a borderline WR1/WR2 for that contest.
