Chris Olave Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Olave missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning for a limited session Friday, leaving him questionable heading into the weekend. The 26-year-old has been outstanding through five games, recording 39 receptions for 537 yards and one touchdown on 54 targets. He was limited to four catches for 46 yards against Minnesota last week but has already surpassed 100 receiving yards three times this season. With his availability confirmed, Olave remains a strong WR1 option against the Giants, although his recent illness introduces some uncertainty regarding his effectiveness.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 6 contest against the New York Giants despite being listed as questionable, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Evidently, Olave overcame his illness enough to play in Week 6. Although Olave was held to just four catches last week, he has been remarkable this season, ranking as the WR5 in PPR leagues with 39 catches, 537 yards, and one touchdown. While we'd like to see him get even more involved around the goal line, fantasy managers can't argue that he has been a volume machine while posting high-yardage upside. The 26-year-old continues to rank as an undisputed WR1 in fantasy football heading into a very favorable matchup against the Giants.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave recorded just four receptions for 46 yards in Week 5's loss to the Vikings. His yardage total was his lowest since Week 14 of 2025, though it's difficult to fault Olave when the Saints' offense managed just 142 total yards. Olave has missed two practices this week due to an illness but was able to participate in some capacity on Friday, leaving his status for Sunday's game questionable. If he suits up, he faces a Giants defense that ranks around the middle of the pack against opposing wide receivers. Despite last week's disappointing performance, Olave still ranks second in the league in receiving yards and remains a must-start fantasy option on a weekly basis.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) will be listed as questionable with an illness for Week 6 on Sunday on the road against the New York Giants, according to Saints reporter Jeff Nowak. Olave has been under the weather this week and did not practice with the team on Wednesday or Thursday. The 26-year-old high-end pass-catcher returned to the practice field on Friday, though, which is a good sign that he will be available for Sunday's road tilt against the New York Giants in Week 6. We should have a better idea by Sunday morning whether Olave is seriously in danger of missing this weekend's game, but for now, fantasy managers should plan on having him available as the Saints look to break their losing streak. Olave, a former first-rounder from Ohio State, is a must-start receiver in fantasy when he is active. Going into Week 6, he ranks as the WR6 in half-PPR scoring, catching 39 of 54 targets for 537 yards and one touchdown. His 54 targets rank third among all wideouts, behind only Jaxon Smith-Njigba (one more game) and Amon-Ra St. Brown.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) missed his second straight practice on Thursday with an illness, per Jeff Nowak of WWL Radio. It's still too early to say whether Olave's status for the Saints' Week 6 matchup against the New York Giants is truly in doubt, but he will likely need to log a full practice on Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend. The 26-year-old has been one of the most productive wide receivers in the NFL so far this season, recording 39 catches for 537 yards and a touchdown on 54 targets across five games. If Olave is unable to play against New York, Saints wideout Devaughn Vele and tight end Juwan Johnson would both be much more attractive starting options for fantasy managers in Week 6.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Olave is a little under the weather this week, but with three full days before Sunday's game against the New York Giants, fantasy managers should not be too worried about the star wideout's status for Week 6. After back-to-back 100-yard games in Weeks 3 and 4, Olave caught just four passes for 46 yards in the Week 5 loss to a tough Minnesota Vikings defense. Through five games, Olave continues to be money for his fantasy managers, ranking as the overall WR6 in half-PPR scoring with 39 catches for 537 yards and one touchdown on 54 targets. As long as he is healthy, Olave will continue to be quarterback Tyler Shough's go-to downfield passing target in an up-tempo, pass-happy offense in New Orleans. Fantasy managers should have the former first-rounder from Ohio State locked into their lineups this week for an upcoming road tilt at MetLife Stadium against the G-Men.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in four receptions for just 46 yards in a 23-13 Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran wideout was a projected must-start despite the difficult matchup against Minnesota, especially after catching eight of 12 targets for 116 yards in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints' passing game will continue to get tested, going up against another formidable defense in Week 6 when they visit the New York Giants. Olave has the potential to bounce back, but is a bust in Week 5 after being a must-start candidate.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in eight receptions for 116 yards on 12 targets in Week 4's loss to the Falcons. He got off to a slow start, recording no catches through most of the first quarter, before quarterback Tyler Shough connected with him on a 44-yard deep ball to get him going. Olave now ranks second in the league in both receptions (35) and receiving yards (491). He also appeared on the injury report this week with a foot issue, but practiced in full on Friday and is officially good to go against Minnesota. Olave remains the focal point of the Saints' offense, and despite a tough matchup against the Vikings, he remains a weekly must-start WR1. He ranks as WR7 in RotoBaller's Week 5 rankings.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into the Week 5 game on Sunday against the visiting Minnesota Vikings, according to Saints reporter Jeff Nowak. Olave popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday after he had his foot stepped on during practice, according to head coach Kellen Moore. The matchup this weekend for the Saints and Olave is not an easy one against the blitz-happy Vikings defense, but the 26-year-old is a no-brainer must-start WR1 in fantasy when he is healthy. Olave, a former first-rounder in 2022 from Ohio State, has caught 35 of his 48 targets for 491 yards (league-high 122.8 yards per game) and one touchdown to begin his fifth year in the NFL. He has a lot of chemistry with second-year quarterback Tyler Shough in a pass-happy offense and should continue to be heavily targeted this weekend.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (foot) was limited in practice on Thursday with a foot injury, per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. Olave did not practice on Wednesday, which the team described as a rest day. However, it appears as though the 26-year-old could actually be dealing with an injury that may impact his availability for the Saints' Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Olave has been one of the most productive wide receivers in football so far this season, recording 35 catches for 491 yards and a touchdown on 48 targets across four games. He's recorded double-digit targets in every game and 100 receiving yards in three out of four contests. If Olave is unable to play against Minnesota, Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele and tight end Juwan Johnson could vault into must-start territory for fantasy managers.
