Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed Miss Thursday's Practice
12 months ago
New Orleans Saints wide receivers Chris Olave (illness) and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) were both unable to practice on Thursday. Olave has a few days to recover and should be fine to play this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. The 23-year-old is the clear No. 1 receiver for the Saints, although he could be a bit more volatile if quarterback Jameis Winston starts over the injured Derek Carr (concussion, rib, shoulder) this weekend. Olave produced his second straight 100-yard game and fourth of the season in the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions. Keep him locked into your starting lineups. Shaheed, meanwhile, missed last week's game after getting injured in Week 12 and is trending towards sitting out a second straight game. No receiver really stepped up in Shaheed's absence against Detroit outside of Olave and running back Alvin Kamara.
