BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: The New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave caught four of his five targets for 28 yards and one touchdown in the Week 14 win over the Panthers. Olave is now just 82 yards away from a 1,000-yard season; as he currently has 72 catches for 918 yards and four touchdowns through the first 14 weeks of the season. However, Olave has been dealing with an ankle injury throughout the week, putting his status up in the air which makes fantasy managers wonder what is value is for Week 15?
Throughout the week, Olave has been dealing with an ankle injury leaving him officially questionable. Olave is expected to be a true game-time decision ahead of Sunday's game but will likely need to see how his ankle feels Sunday morning on the field during warmups. All fantasy managers will want to monitor his status before setting their lineups.
#Saints WR Chris Olave (ankle) is considered a game-time decision, source said, but there is not a lot of optimism that he can go. He may work out pre-game.

In Week 15, the Saints will take on the New York Giants who ranks 4th in the NFL in fewest receiving yards allowed this season which could negatively effect Olave, but he has managed to see solid production despite who the Saints are playing against. If Olave is able to play through his injury, fantasy managers should feel safe about starting him this week and can be viewed as a solid WR2 against the Giants. Fantasy managers will need to monitor his injury status before game-time.
Chris Olave is listed #20 in our Half-PPR fantasy football rankings.
