Chris Olave Still Managing Ankle Injury In Week 18

Chris Olave Still Managing Ankle Injury In Week 18

11 months ago

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) continues to manage an ankle injury and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice session. Olave sat out in Week 15 because of his ankle injury, but he returned in Week 16 to post nine catches on 13 targets for a season-high 123 yards and a two-point conversion. In last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though, he wasn't needed as much and caught three passes for 26 yards on six targets. The 23-year-old second-year wideout will be looking for a bounce-back performance in a must-win game for the Saints in Week 18 against the Atlanta Falcons. There should be nothing from stopping Olave from playing this weekend, where he'll be a low-end WR1 for fantasy managers. In the Week 12 loss to the Falcons, Olave had a strong game, going for seven catches on nine targets for 114 yards.
