Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. He never had a realistic chance to clear protocol in just four days. Olave should be back for Week 8's game against the Chargers, but we'll track his progress next week.
Saints WRs Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) did not practice on Tuesday. Olave has virtually no chance to clear protocol in time for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos. We're still waiting for more information on Shaheed's knee injury, but he seems unlikely to play against Denver. Without their top two WRs, the Saints would be left with Bub Means, Mason Tipton, and Cedrick Wilson.
Saints WR Chris Olave sustained a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs and won't return. It's Olave's fourth documented concussion. He's a long shot to be cleared in time for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos.
Saints HC Dennis Allen said Wednesday that QB Spencer Rattler will start this weekend's game vs. the Bucs. The fifth-round rookie boasts exciting arm talent but completed just 53% of his passes at 5.3 yards per attempt this preseason. He's not a Week 6 fantasy option and is a downgrade for New Orleans' pass catchers. Allen also said Wednesday that QB Derek Carr (oblique) is "week to week" but won't go on IR.
Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to miss "multiple games" with the oblique injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, NFL Network reports. He'll likely miss this weekend's game vs. the Bucs and the following Thursday's game against the Broncos. It sounds like he'll have a chance to be back for Week 8. New Orleans' bye isn't until Week 12.
Saints QB Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He's scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday to get a better look at the damage. "Not good," Carr said when asked how he felt afterward.
Saints WR Chris Olave tied UDFA rookie WR Mason Tipton in targets on Monday Night against the Chiefs with four each. He ended up with a stat line of two catches for 10 yards.
Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. The hamstring injury he suffered in Friday’s practice was evidently minor. It still adds real risk to his Week 4 fantasy profile, though. Check your Team Intel page to see if Olave makes sense in your starting lineup.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Falcons today. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said Saturday night that Olave would be a game-time decision, but that there was "optimism" he'd be able to play. We'll get New Orleans' inactives around 11:30 am ET. If Olave suits up, he'll be a risk/reward fantasy play after injuring a hamstring in Friday's practice.
Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) is a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Falcons, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "There is some optimism but team needs to monitor leading up to kickoff," Fowler adds. Olave hurt his hamstring in Friday's practice, giving him less than 48 hours to heal up. The Saints notably did not elevate a WR from the practice squad on Saturday, though, which would seem to confirm that optimism on Olave's availability. We'll get New Orleans' inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Olave, of course, will carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he does give it a go.
Saints WR Chris Olave is traveling with the team to Atlanta for Sunday's game. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football reports that Olave "still has a real chance" to play in the game. The 1 p.m. ET kickoff at least means we'll have plenty of other options available when we find out whether Olave's active. Factor in the risk of re-injury as you're making your lineup decisions, though.
Saints WR Chris Olave is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons after injuring his hamstring in Friday’s practice. He’s considered “day-to-day,” according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, but Olave has less than 48 hours to get ready for Sunday’s 1 pm ET kickoff. We’ll look for further updates on his status for that one. He’ll carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups if he does suit up.
Not much went right for the New Orleans offense in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. But WR Chris Olave had a good day. He caught all 6 of his targets for 86 yards and the team's only TD. That score put the Saints ahead with 2:03 left in the fourth quarter, before Philly scored the game-winning TD.
Saints TE Taysom Hill (chest) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. He should be out of all Week 3 fantasy lineups. Hill has played 57% of his snaps in the backfield this season, totaling eight carries and three targets. His absence is a bigger boost to New Orleans' RBs than pass-catchers.
Saints WR Chris Olave caught four passes for 81 yards on a team-high six targets in Sunday's blowout victory at Dallas. His 4 receptions tied WR Rashid Shaheed for the team lead, while the yardage trailed only Shaheed, who caught a 70-yard TD.
Klint Kubiak is expected to be named the Saints' new OC, according to multiple reports. Kubiak is currently the 49ers' passing-game coordinator, so the move can't become official until after the Super Bowl. The 36-year-old son of Gary Kubiak has 10 seasons of NFL coaching experience. That includes serving as Vikings OC back in 2021. That team ranked 12th in total yards and 14th in points, ranking near the middle of the pack in run/pass split.
The Saints fired OC Pete Carmichael, as well as senior offensive assistant Bob Bicknell and WRs coach Kodi Burns. New Orleans finished a solid 14th in total yards and ninth in points scored this past year, but the organization is evidently looking for some fresh blood after employing Carmichael since 2009. We'll see who the Saints tab as their new OC.
