BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: The lead up to Week 14 has not been without worry for Chris Olave's fantasy managers, however, the full expectation is that the Saints wide receiver will play in Week 14 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, according to Saints insider Nick Underhill.
Full expectation is that Chris Olave will play this week, I'm told
— Nick Underhill (@nick_underhill) December 8, 2023
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 this matchup, though Winston's presence could actually raise Olave's ceiling. In Week 2 in the first meeting against the Panthers, Olave caught six of 11 targets for 86 yards. Despite his illness and this week's missed practices Olave is in play as a must-start WR2 if he indeed suits up against the lowly Panthers.
