Latest update on Olave’s status
– Olave is expected to play in Week 6, according to reports from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He and Saints running back Alvin Kamara (back) are both listed as questionable but anticipated to participate in the game.
– Illness kept Olave out of practice at the start of the week, but a return to a limited practice and the overall expectation has remained that he will be active.
Chris Olave start-or-sit guidance
– Olave recently had a quieter game, finishing with four receptions for 46 yards. That performance was his lowest yardage output of the season, following multiple games with 86 or more receiving yards, including several games over 100 yards.
– Despite the dip, Olave remains a strong fantasy option. He sits as WR5 in standard fantasy scoring rankings, making him a reliable start in Week 6.
matchup context
– The Week 6 opponent, the New York Giants, has allowed the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, indicating a middling matchup. This is a favorable context for Olave in terms of volume and opportunity, reinforcing the start recommendation.
Bottom line
– Start Olave in Week 6. His illness should not deter a lineup with him, given his target share, recent production history, and the Saints’ reliance on him as a key receiver.
