Chris Olave Illness Update: Fantasy Implications for Week 6
Olave has missed two straight practices — here's what it means for your lineup before Sunday's Saints-Giants game.
Chris Olave has missed back-to-back Saints practices with an illness, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). New Orleans plays the Giants on the road Sunday, and official injury designations won't come until Friday — meaning you may be making lineup decisions without full clarity.
Chris Olave
Two missed practices with an illness is a real red flag for a Week 6 start. Olave is already listed as questionable, and if he sits out Friday's practice as well, the smart move is to have a backup plan in place before Sunday's kickoff. The Saints-Giants matchup may otherwise be a reasonable spot, but that doesn't matter if Olave isn't on the field. Check Friday's injury report before locking him in — if he's out, his absence opens targets for New Orleans' other receivers, making any Saints wideout behind him a potential emergency streamer worth stashing now.
