Chris Olave Status

rotoWire
Olave had five receptions (on 12 targets) for 60 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 10-7 defeat to the Panthers.

What it means:

Olave reclaimed his role as New Orleans' top wideout after dealing with a hamstring injury over the previous two weeks, accounting for just under half of New Orleans' 25 total targets Week 18. The rookie receiver got started early with two receptions for 32 yards on the opening drive, including a 25-yard receiving touchdown. However, he did cough up a crucial fumble at the Carolina 24-yard line during the second quarter. This still marked the 6-foot-1 receiver's first game with double-digit targets since Week 7. Olave finishes the 2022 regular season with 72 receptions (on 119 targets) for 1,042 yards and four touchdowns. He also did a very effective job while stepping up with previous No. 1 wideout Michael Thomas (toe) sidelined for all but three games this season, as Olave now has the second-most receiving yards of any rookie receiver in Saints' history. Expect Olave to enter the 2023 campaign as one the likely frontrunners for the team's top receiver role.
rotoWire
Olave tallied four receptions (on five targets) for 42 yards during Sunday's 20-10 victory versus Philadelphia.

What it means:

Olave played 61 percent of the Saints' offensive snaps in his first game back from a hamstring injury. The rookie first-rounder didn't appear limited by this issue while catching all three of his targets for 31 yards on New Orleans' opening drive. Olave was targeted twice throughout the remainder of the first half, the second of which was undercut for an interception by Eagles cornerback Josiah Scott. His opportunities then shrunk to zero when the Saints' offense shifted to a ball-control game script during the second half. Olave finished third on the team in targets behind tight end Juwan Johnson (seven) and wideout Rashid Shaheed (six), the latter of whom has come on as one of the team's top receivers over the past four games. Olave has now topped more than six targets just once since Week 9, so it's a safe bet that he'll continue to split targets as one piece of the Saints' top receiving trio during next week's regular-season finale.

Chris Olave (hamstring) will play in Week 17 for New Orleans

What it means:

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave will play Sunday in the team's Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Olave was listed questionable due to his hamstring. However, reports earlier in the day suggested he'd be ready to take the field in the penultimate game of the season. That will indeed be the case versus Philly. Our models project Olave for 5.0 catches, 63.9 yards, 0.3 touchdowns and 10.3 FanDuel points.
rotoWire
Olave (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

What it means:

Olave returns from a one-game absence to face one of the best secondaries in the league, led by perimeter corners Darius Slay and James Bradberry. The Saints figure to roll with Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Tre'Quan Smith as their top three wide receivers, while Marquez Callaway is a healthy scratch.

Chris Olave (hamstring) expected to play in Saints' Week 17 contest

What it means:

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) is expected to play in the team's Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Olave missed the Saints' Week 16 game while he was dealing with a hamstring strain, but it seems like the explosive rookie should be back on the field today as the Saints take on the top team in the NFC. Olave has already established himself as the Saints' go-to guy in the passing game in his rookie season, and is projected to lead the team in receiving this week with 5 catches for 63.9 yards and 0.3 touchdowns. He has a $7,100 salary on FanDuel.
rotoWire
Olave (hamstring) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

What it means:

Olave sat out Week 16 due to a hamstring injury but has since managed to return to practice as a limited participant, and it looks like the Saints expect him to be back on the field Sunday. The rookie first-round pick's status will be made official prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
