Chris Olave - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Finds end zone in Week 6 win Olave caught four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.

Impact While he didn't see his usual volume on an afternoon in which Tyler Shough threw for only 144 yards, Olave was on the other end of one of the QB's three scores, hauling in an 18-yard TD early in the fourth quarter that proved to be crucial after the Giants staged a late, but unsuccessful, rally. Olave got double-digit targets in each of the first four games of the season, but over the last two contests he's been targeted just 13 times, posting an 8-89-1 line. He'll look to regain some steam in Paris for a Week 7 matchup against the Steelers.

Active in Week 6 Olave (illness) is listed as active Sunday at the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact An illness afflicted Olave during the entirety of Week 6 prep, holding him to one limited practice Friday, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that the wide receiver is expected to suit up. Indeed, that has come to pass, and Olave will continue to operate as the unquestioned top target for QB Tyler Shough, who currently ranks second in the NFL this season with 205 pass attempts.

Expected to play Sunday Olave (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Olave was contained to just one limited session (Friday) during Week 6 prep as he dealt with an illness, but it won't stop him from being available Sunday. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's active, he'll be looking to build upon the 39-537-1 line on 54 targets that he's accrued through the first five contests of the campaign.

Questionable for Week 6 Olave (illness) was limited at Friday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Week 6.

Impact An illness cost Olave the first two practices of the week, but he was able to take the field Friday and get some work in. He is not in the clear for Sunday's matchup with the Giants just yet, but his participation alone Friday suggests it's more likely than not he will be available.

No practice Thursday Olave (illness) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact With no practice so far this week for Olave due to an illness, he has just one more chance to mix into drills Friday, or else he'll be at risk of heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at the Giants. Through five contests this season, he has three 100-yard efforts to his name en route to cumulative 39-537-1 line on 54 targets.

DNP due to illness Olave didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact Olave is coming off a season-worst 4-46-0 line on six targets in this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but a stout defense and not a health concern was to blame. As Week 6 prep kicks off, his absence on a Wednesday with an illness isn't as worrisome as it could be not long before game day, and he at least has two more chances to practice Thursday and Friday to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Victim of Shough's struggles Sunday Olave secured four of six targets for 46 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Olave found himself in the familiar position of either tying for the team lead or setting the pace for the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but the numbers he generated in each of those categories left plenty to be desired. Olave's substandard production should be taken in context, however, considering Tyler Shough threw for only 96 yards at 3.8 yards per attempt and was picked off twice as well. Olave's numbers were easily season lows across the board, but he should have a good chance to bounce back in a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Good to go Sunday Olave (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Impact After being limited Thursday due to a foot issue, Olave's full participation Friday clears up his status for Week 5. The NFL's leader in targets (48) has a tough test against Minnesota's aggressive defense, but the Saints can't run the ball and have been forced to dial up the pass at a high clip through four games. Olave is a lock-and-load WR1 every week.

Practicing again Friday Olave (rest/foot) appeared to be moving well during the part of Friday's practice open to the media, Jeff Nowak of WWL New Orleans reports.

Impact After being rested for Wednesday's walkthrough, Olave was limited at Thursday's session due to a foot injury. His status for Sunday's game against the Vikings may receive some clarity once the Saints post their final Week 5 practice report Friday.

Dealing with foot issue Olave (rest/foot) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.

Impact The Saints held a walkthrough Wednesday, during which Olave logged a rest day. As of Thursday, he mixed back into drills, but a foot injury was added to the practice report after his capped session. His ability to handle some reps while dealing with a health concern generally is a good sign that his status isn't in question for Week 5, but Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Vikings.

Returns to practice Thursday Olave was present and involved throughout Thursday's practice, Ross Jackson of LouisianaSports.net reports.

Impact Olave rested Wednesday after catching eight of 12 targets for 116 yards in Monday's loss to the Falcons. The star wide receiver returned to practice Thursday, assuaging any lingering concerns about his health. Olave will look to add to his season totals of 35 catches for 491 yards and one touchdown Sunday against the Vikings.

Gets rest day Wednesday Olave had a rest day at Wednesday's practice, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Saints had a walkthrough Wednesday after having played Monday night against the Falcons. Olave was given a rest day, and according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, it was unrelated to a hard shot he took during the loss to the Falcons. Olave does not appear to be dealing with an injury, and should return to practice later in the week.
