The New Orleans Saints will face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Chris Olave.
Is Chris Olave Playing in Week 17?
Last week, Olave returned to practice for the first time since sustaining his second concussion of the season. Olave was never going to play in that game, but he is now listed as a full participant.
Interim head coach Darren Rizzi described him as “day-to-day.” The Saints officially ruled him out on Saturday.
We’ll continue to monitor the Saints’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Chris Olave’s Fantasy Outlook
Olave is nearing two straight months missed with a concussion, and while it is nice to see him nearing full health, betting on him seeing a full complement of snaps, if active, in this low-octane offense is a long shot.
Add in the fact that the quality of targets is far from a given, and you’re realistically looking at 2025 as the next time you can play this WR1.
This was a lost season for Olave, but don’t lose track of him at a top-heavy position this summer — he still has the tools to be a difference-maker in the first handful of rounds.
