20 Sep
Summary
- Chris Olave is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Ravens.
- His Week 2 exit from practice was a precautionary measure.
- Olave had a top-five fantasy performance in Week 1 with 182 receiving yards.
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is anticipated to play in the upcoming Week 2 game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to reports from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Olave was listed as questionable after being added to the injury report on Thursday due to an undisclosed issue.
However, his limited practice on Friday indicated he was progressing. Reports confirmed that his exit from Thursday's session was purely precautionary, with no expected limitations for Sunday's contest.
This news is significant for fantasy football managers, as Olave achieved a top-five fantasy performance among wide receivers in Week 1. He recorded 10 receptions for 182 yards. Despite the Ravens' Week 1 defensive performance, Olave is considered an every-week WR2, capable of elite production.
Furthermore, a potential shootout scenario with the Ravens could lead to increased passing volume for the Saints, benefiting Olave's production. Given the Ravens' defensive struggles in 2025, analysts are confident in starting Olave without reservation.
