Chris Olave Questionable for Week 6 After Illness

Limited Friday practice points to a likely game-day return with an increased risk of reduced snaps that should prompt fantasy managers to name an insurance option.

Overview

  • The Saints listed Chris Olave as questionable for Sunday after he missed Wednesday and Thursday practices and returned as a limited participant on Friday.
  • FantasyPros’ injury model gives Olave a 95% chance to play, reflecting his limited practice and the team’s optimistic signs.
  • Analysts say Olave should be started if active because of his featured role, but managers should have an early-game receiver ready in case illness limits his conditioning or snap count.
  • If Olave is ruled out, Devaughn Vele is the top waiver priority given his route volume and recent production, with Germie Bernard and Tre Tucker as secondary targets.
  • The Saints also listed Alvin Kamara as questionable and ruled out linebackers Kaden Elliss and Anfernee Jennings, a combination that could shift offensive target shares and affect defensive continuity for Sunday.
