        Chris Olave Out For Week 18 With Blood Clot

        Chris Olave Out For Week 18 With Blood Clot

        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 Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest, illness) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Packers. That leaves New Orleans with WRs Kevin Austin, Cedrick Wilson, Dante Pettis, and Mason Tipton. Hopefully you're not messing with the situation in fantasy lineups.

        Saints WR Mason Tipton is a healthy scratch for today’s game vs. the Browns. He ran a route on 83% of Saints pass plays and totaled 14 targets over the past four weeks. New Orleans will roll with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Cedrick Wilson, Kevin Austin, and Dante Pettis today. What a group!
