Chris Olave Expected To Play Sunday
1 year agoThe full expectation is that New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) will play in Week 14 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. Olave came down with the flu this week and missed practice on Thursday and Friday, which has led to him being listed as questionable to play on Sunday. The 23-year-old should be feeling better by Sunday, though, and he'll need to be left in all starting fantasy lineups if he's officially active on Sunday morning. Quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, ribs, shoulder) is questionable as well, so Olave could be taking passes from backup Jameis Winston in a difficult matchup. In Week 2 in the first meeting against the Panthers, Olave caught six of 11 targets for 86 yards. Despite his illness, Olave is in play as a must-start WR2.
