Chris Olave comes alive in fourth quarter for New Orleans

Chris Olave caught six of nine targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 20-17 win over the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

Olave was quiet until the fourth quarter, when he caught five passes in the Saints' final two drives, including a completion on back-to-back-to-back plays. He's a solid WR2 with Tyler Shough at QB, but fantasy managers will need to monitor his status after being taken out of the game after a big hit. Either way, Olave should see plenty of targets regardless of who is at QB, but his ceiling appears to be better with Shough than Rattler.

Chris Olave (back) good to go for Week 15

Chris Olave (back) will be good to go for Week 15's game against the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Impact

Olave was previously listed on New Orleans' injury report due to a back injury, but he was able to play last week and no longer carries an injury designation heading into Week 15. He should be a full go against the Panthers and will be looking to bounce back after an underwhelming performance last week.

Chris Olave hauls in three passes in Week 14

Chris Olave caught 3-of-5 targets for 30 yards in the Saints 24-20 win over the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Olave came into the game questionable with a back injury and turned in a quiet performance Sunday. The Saints also put a heavy focus on the running game against Tampa Bay, limiting the number of times they needed to put the ball in the air. Olave and the Saints will take on the Panthers in Week 15.

Chris Olave (back) officially active for Week 14

Saints WR Chris Olave (back) is officially active for Week 14.

Fantasy Impact

Olave has been dealing with back spasms and was limited in practice to close out the week. Fantasy managers should expect Olave to remain the top target for QB Tyler Shough, barring a setback during the game.

Chris Olave (back) expected to play on Sunday against Tampa

Chris Olave (back) is expected to play for the Saints tilt against Tampa on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Olave is dealing with back spasms but seems to be improving based on the report. If he is out there, he’s the top target for Tyler Shough and should have a decent PPR floor. If he suffers a setback, Week 13 breakout Devaughn Vele and Juwan Johnson stand to benefit most.
