No surprise, but Chris Olave is ruled out this week. Still no decision of whether he’ll land in IR, but it’s on the table.

This WR room is in a bad way right now, filled with names we haven't heard from in years, or possibly, had never heard of. Outside of Alvin Kamara, and likely Taysom Hill, there are not many other options here for fantasy purposes.

With Tyreek looking like a full-go, and Tua Tagovailoa back under center, he should be considered a top-10 option in basically any matchup.

Mattison will hold onto the role for now, but it's not the most lucrative position for fantasy points. Consider him a fringe RB2/3 for Week 9.

Dennis Allen noted that Bub Means will miss time due to a high-ankle sprain.

With Olave back in action last week, Means was still the team's WR2, but with him now missing time, Tipton and Wilson look to be next up on the depth chart. The good news for the Saints is QB Derek Carr has a chance to play in Week 9. Olave went for a line of 8-107-0 and was targeted 14 times. Kamara was targeted 11 times and had a 6-55-0 line. Expect Kamara to continue to be heavily used in the passing game.

The Dolphins officially activated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from injured reserve Saturday.

The move was a formality after head coach Mike McDaniel announced Friday Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocol and will start Sunday against the Cardinals. He is still listed as questionable but is fully expected to play. The Dolphins hope Tagovailoa’s return will give them the spark they need on offense. Tim Boyle was released in a corresponding move.

Olave should return to his tole as the WR1, but it still looks like Spencer Rattler will be out there, which slots him somewhere around a fantasy WR3.

We are so back. Tua has a great matchup, and can be considered as a low-end QB1 for managers who are looking to stream him in his first game back. Hill returns to WR1 consideration with the upside for a top-3 weekly finish, while Waddle managers can shake off the cobwebs and stick him in as a WR2.

This is fantastic news for the Dolphins offense (particularly Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle) in what should be a good matchup against the Cardinals defense. Tua can be considered a high end QB2 in his first week back.

Saints WR Chris Olave is still in the concussion protocol to begin this week, per Dennis Allen. Team had meetings Monday but no bonus practice after the mini-bye

Olave will need to practice symptom-free in order to come out of protocol. He didn't have much of a chance last week on a short week but the hope is he will be able to be back for Week 8. The Saints are hurting at the position with Means, Tipton and Wilson running at the top three. Reports say the team had Marquez Valdes-Scantling in for a visit.

Tua Tagovailoa is due back on the practice field this week.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that the team will begin the process of bringing Tagovailoa off of injured reserve. Tagovailoa has been on the list since suffering a concussion in Week Two and he will remain in the concussion protocol until he takes part in practices without feeling any symptoms during or after the workouts. If he does get cleared, he’ll be on track to play against the Cardinals.

McDaniel said the plan is for Tua to practice on Wednesday. He'll need to get through the practice symptom-free. “The clearing doesn’t come until after some of the activity. We’re obviously doing so in the hope of everything going well so that he can play Sunday, but that will be to be determined,” McDaniel said in the story. The story added, according to McDaniel, “medical experts have deemed it safe” for Tagovailoa to return to the field at this point and said Tagovailoa would have to answer whether he will wear a Guardian Cap upon his return to game action.
