Juwan Johnson Fantasy Overview

Saints WR Chris Olave will miss Sunday's game vs. the Falcons after a blood clot was detected in his lung, New Orleans Football's Nick Underhill reports. The issue was caught early, per Underhill, and Olave is being discharged from the hospital today. It doesn't sound like there will be any long-term impacts here. But the Saints lose the engine of the passing game for Week 18. Olave's absence leaves the WR corps to Kevin Austin, Mason Tipton, and Dante Pettis, among others. TE Juwan Johnson might be the team's best target bet. QB Tyler Shough is a much less attractive fantasy play sans Olave.

Update: Olave is expected to be sidelined for about a month, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Barring a setback, this shouldn't have too big an impact on his offseason.

Saints WR Devaughn Vele (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Jets, HC Kellen Moore said Wednesday. Vele has emerged as a key cog in New Orleans' passing game lately, totaling 16 catches, 202 yards, and a score over the last three games. His absence gives WR Chris Olave and TE Juwan Johnson more target upside.
