    Saints WR Chris Olave (hamstring) is questionable for Week 2 against the Ravens.

    Olave was present at the portion of practice available to media Friday after being limited for “precautionary reasons” the day prior. Although he seems to be trending towards playing against the Ravens, the questionable designation is something fantasy managers will want to monitor when game-day inactives are announced 90-minutes prior to first kick. The good news is that the Saints play in the early window on Sunday, giving managers time to react should they be dealt a surprise on Sunday. Olave will be a volume-driven WR1 against the Ravens, if active.

    Olave was solid despite playing through a hamstring injury that had him listed as questionable entering the day. His 10 targets led all Saints receivers as he hauled in several key passes to keep the offense on schedule in a game the Saints trailed most of the way. Olave found the end zone in the fourth quarter on an uncontested 21-yard reception to cut the Ravens’ lead to 17-15, setting the Saints up to score on a two-point conversion and tie the game on the next play. Olave has seen 23 targets in his first two games and can be treated as a high-end WR1 in next week’s game against the Raiders.

    Olave is officially active after popping up on Thursday’s injury report with a hamstring issue. He logged a limited practice Friday, so hopefully he won’t be too hampered in what could be a high-scoring game. Assuming a normal workload, Olave projects as a solid WR1. While Olave is active, the Saints did declare RB Kendre Miller, QB Zach Wilson, CB Decamerion Richardson, LB Isaiah Stalbird, DL Christen Miller, OL Mason Murphy, and DL John Ridgeway III inactive for Week 2.

    Olave left Thursday’s practice as a precaution and was limited again on Friday. The team listed him as questionable heading into the weekend. It seems like the Thursday departure truly was a precaution, and Olave is good to go for a potential shootout with Baltimore. With plenty of passing volume to go around in the Saints’ offense, Olave sits at the end of the WR1 mix for Week 2.

    Underhill adds that Olave’s hamstring issue is not expected to be a “problem.” If this really is a non-issue, perhaps Olave just experienced cramping today and will be back out there on Friday, practicing in full. That said, soft tissue issues that pop up mid-week are typically not good. Saints No. 2 WR Devaughn Vele is worth adding if he is a free agent.
  • NO Wide Receiver #12
    Olave was added to the injury report after not being on it at all on Wednesday. Saints reporter Mike Triplett said that Olave was spotted during the option portion of media practice. This is fairly concerning, though we have scant information on the injury at this point. Friday’s status will be enormous for Olave.
  • NO Wide Receiver #12
    The Saints got off to a slow start and it looked like Olave, along with the rest of the offense, was going to have a bust of a fantasy day. Instead, Tyler Shough turned the corner in the third quarter and started peppering Olave with intermediate and deep shots. Olave had two gains of 40+ yards and four of 20+ yards. Olave gets another potential shootout next week when he takes on the Ravens. He will be in the WR1 mix.
  • NO Wide Receiver #12
    Olave walked off under his own power with trainers. Saints coach Kellen Moore said Olave is “all good” and that he got the wind knocked out of him. We wouldn’t be surprised if he got a practice off, but there’s no cause for concern here.
  • NO Wide Receiver #12
    The deal includes $90 million guaranteed. Olave, 26, ranked sixth in the NFL with 151 targets last year despite missing Week 18 due to blood clots in his lungs. He spent the offseason recovering and, aside from holding in yesterday, participating as much as possible. He was cleared to fully practice on Tuesday. He is a fantasy football WR1, playing in an ascending Saints offense.
  • NO Wide Receiver #12
    Olave missed time during the offseason program while on blood thinners that were prescribed to treat a blood clot found in his lung at the end of the 2025 season. The fact that he wasn’t ready for the start of camp initially seemed concerning, but Moore made it relatively clear that health isn’t an issue. Olave is set to play out the final year of his rookie deal in 2026 and is more than deserving of a new contract. Coming off his second 1,100-yard season in the past three years, the Saints will likely find the money necessary to keep him around long-term before the start of the season.
  • NO Wide Receiver #12
    Olave was on blood thinners after a blood clot was discovered in his lung prior to Week 18, and had been taking them throughout the offseason program. That’s all done. It’s hard to call Olave “safe” to draft due to the long-term concussion issues he’s dealt with, but he’s as good as he’s going to be. Olave said he felt a contract extension was going to happen “soon” in June, so that’s probably the next tidbit of news incoming on him before the season. Loomis said when asked of an extension that “We’re just not there yet” but “we want to get it done.”

    Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett (hip) was a full practice participant on Wednesday.

    Brissett seemingly dealt with an injury in the Cardinals’ Week 2 loss against the Seahawks, but played through it. He opens the week listed with a hip injury but was a full practice participant. Though Brissett seems to have a hip issue ailing him, it does not seem like it will keep him from playing. The veteran remains in the low-end QB2 conversation for Week 3 against the 49ers.

    49ers WR Demarcus Robinson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Robinson suffered an ankle injury in the 49ers’ Week 2 win over the Dolphins. The initial diagnosis was that the veteran would miss some time and his DNP designation Wednesday indicates just that. With Mike Evans (hip) also not practicing, the 49ers’ receiving corps is getting thinner than it already was.

    Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp (back) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Kupp also opened last week with a limited practice due to the back injury before getting in two full practices and playing in Week 2. His limited designation Wednesday is likely a continuation of veteran workload management for his back; fantasy managers should not be surprised to see the 33-year-old limited on Wednesdays this season.

    Commanders RB Kaytron Allen (hip) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Allen popped up on the injury report as a limited participant due to a hip injury. The rookie has seen limited touches as the Commanders’ third-string back and is still buried in the depth chart. Also limited was WR Jaylin Lane (groin). Lane is likely to play as he played through the injury in Week 2. Allen’s status is up in the air; practice reports from later in the week will paint a clearer picture.

    Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Okonkwo did not play in Week 2 due to a hamstring injury and now opens this week not practicing. The 27-year-old suffered the injury in Week 1 and has yet to return to practice since then. The Commanders’ tight end depth chart is thin and neither John Bates or Ben Sinnott are worth rostering with Jayden Daniels out.

    Commanders DT Javon Kinlaw (back/shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Kinlaw dealt with a back injury last week but played in Week 2. He came out of the loss against the Cowboys with an additional injury to the shoulder. Kinlaw’s status for Week 3 is in question as he sits out of practice with back and shoulder issues.

    Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (chest) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Price entered Wednesday expected to practice and officially received a limited designation due to a chest injury he suffered in Week 2. Also limited was George Holani (knee). With both backs starting out limited, their Week 3 statuses are up in the air. If one or both can’t go, Emanuel Wilson is the primary beneficiary for fantasy purposes against the Commanders.

    Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Darnold was officially listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, returning to practice for the first time since his opening day injury. He split first-team reps with Drew Lock and did some throwing off to the side. The Seahawks will make a decision Friday on Darnold’s game status for Week 3 but the 29-year-old has an outside chance of returning against the Commanders.

    Bills DT Ed Oliver (hip) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Oliver suffered a hip injury during warmups of the Bills’ Week 2 win over the Lions. He did not play in the game and now starts out Week 3 not practice. Oliver could certainly still go this week against the Chargers but he will likely need at least a limited practice to be in consideration to play.

    Bills WR Keon Coleman (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Coleman pops up on the injury report with an ankle injury and did not practice on Wednesday. He briefly left the Bills’ Week 2 game against the Lions due to the ankle, but returned and finished the game. Coleman’s status for Week 3 is now in jeopardy; with DJ Moore (shoulder) also on the injury report, the Bills’ wide receiver groups may look slim come Sunday against the Chargers.
