Saints’ HC Dennis Allen said WR Chris Olave will play Thursday night vs. the Rams.

Olave hasn't had the best connection with QB Derek Carr this season, but he still represents his best option when on the field, and should be considered a WR2 in Week 16. Even with their struggles, the sophomore wide receiver has averaged 14.4 half-PPR points per game over his last five.

WR Chris Olave did not practice for the second straight day with an ankle injury, leaving his status in doubt for Sunday.

The Saints receiving group is looking very rough heading into Week 15. If Olave ends up missing, it will be difficult to start many names outside of Alvin Kamara.

Saints WR Chris Olave was a full participant today, a sign that he’s close to clearing the concussion protocol.

This is great news for the Saints offense as a whole, as they are already missing Michael Thomas and Rashid Shaheed for Week 13. Olave would be a must-start if he's fully cleared by Sunday, in a great matchup against the Lions.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen noted that receiver Michael Thomas could miss some time with a knee injury. Now we know that will be at least four weeks.

Thomas has been placed on injured reserve, New Orleans announced on Tuesday.

it’s a tough break for Thomas, who had played just 10 games over the last three seasons due to injury. In 2023, Thomas has caught 39 passes for 448 yards with a touchdown, the story said. With Thomas out, Olave should continue to operate as the team's WR1 but Shaheed could see a step up in snaps and workload as well.

The New Orleans Saints announced that they have placed WR Shaquan Davis, RB Kendre Miller, and WR A.T. Perry on Non-Football Injury.

With the initial excitement of the NFL Draft now months behind us, Kendre Miller's fantasy football stock has been slowly fading out of relevance in non-Dynasty leagues. This came to a head before this NFI designation on July 11th when Alvin Kamara pleaded no contest to his breach of the peach charges in a Las Vegas nightclub incident. This will likely deal an even bigger blow to the running back's ADP, which has dropped nearly a full round since the first week of June. He should be left off of your draft boards until further notice.
