Jarvis Landry Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) is being placed on Injured Reserve on Thursday. The Saints ruled Landry out for Week 16 against his former team, the Cleveland Browns, on Saturday, but now he'll miss the final three regular season games. If the Saints somehow win the NFC South, Landry would also be forced to miss the first game of the postseason. Rookie first-rounder Chris Olave (hamstring), the Saints' leading receiver, also won't play on Christmas Eve this weekend, forcing rookie Rashid Shaheed, Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway into bigger roles in the passing game on the road in Cleveland in what is expected to be poor weather. Landry also missed five games earlier this year and will finish the regular season with career-lows across the board in catches (25), targets (39), receiving yards (272) and TDs (one) in nine games.

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave (hamstring) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) have both been ruled out for the Week 16 contest versus the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Olave missed practice all week and Landry missed the last two days of practice after popping up on the injury report on Wednesday. Landry hasn't been much of a fantasy option at all this year, but Olave is the Saints' leading receiver and has been a top-25 wideout in half-point PPR setups in his first NFL season. The 22-year-old has been a consistent weapon with 63 catches for 940 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets in 13 games. With both Olave and Landry out, rookie Rashid Shaheed, Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway will be asked to step up, alongside breakout tight end Juwan Johnson. The Browns defense will be an interesting streaming unit this weekend.

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave (hamstring) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) both missed practice on Wednesday. Olave has been unable to practice so far this week, leaving him very questionable to play in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. The 22-year-old first-rounder will need to practice on Thursday in order to have a shot at playing. Landry wasn't even on the injury report on Tuesday, so his status could now be in question for the weekend. If both Olave, the team's leading receiver, and Landry are unable to play against Cleveland, rookie Rashid Shaheed could be quarterback Andy Dalton's top target, alongside breakout tight end Juwan Johnson and receivers Tre'Quan Smith and Marquez Callaway.
