Chris Olave Dealing With Ankle Injury
12 months agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury and was held out of practice on Wednesday. Olave was sick last week but managed to play in the Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers and played 65 percent of the offensive snaps while catching four of five targets for 28 yards and his fourth touchdown of the year. It remains to be seen how serious his ankle injury is, but we should have a better idea over the next two days. Rashid Shaheed (thigh) has missed the last two games, so if he is unable to return and Olave also can't play, the Saints would be dangerously thin at the receiver position with rookie A.T. Perry effectively serving as the No. 1. When healthy, Olave is a must-start in all fantasy lineups as the clear top dog in New Orleans' passing game.
