The former LSU standout has come home to New Orleans on a one-year prove it deal after suffering through the worst season of his career in 2021. His 87 targets, 52 receptions, 570 yards, and two touchdowns were all career lows. Some will attribute that to poor QB play in Cleveland, but whatever the reason, he needs to get back on track with the Saints if he hopes to cash in on his next deal.
The good news is he'll work out of the slot between Michael Thomas and talented rookie Chris Olave. The bad news is he'll be lining up in the slot between Michael Thomas and talented rookie Chris Olave, in a run-first offense, with a QB coming off ACL surgery, all of which could seriously hamper the target share of a guy who has averaged almost nine targets per game over his career.
He's a volume receiver with huge hands, great route running skills and a high football IQ. I could see him getting a lot of action early in the season as QB Jameis Winston and Thomas find their legs after injury, and Alvin Kamara sorts out his legal troubles and serves a potential suspension. He's being drafted as a borderline WR4, but I think he's got sleeper potential written all over him.

 Michael Thomas headed to IR, surgery on toe
Not expected to play again in 2022
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Nov 3, 3:38 pm
|  | Saints will place WR Michael Thomas on injured reserve and he will have surgery on his toe, according to coach Dennis Allen, who said he doesn’t know the exact timetable but doesn’t anticipate that Thomas will return this year. Was a dislocated second toe. (Mike Triplett on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It's another lost season for Michael Thomas who has battled injuries much of the last three years, playing in only 10 games. Chris Olave is the number one receiving option for the Saints moving forward while Jarvis Landry works to come back from an ankle injury that's caused him to miss the last four weeks.
| Saints rule out Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, Trautman
Week 7 injuries
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Oct 19, 2:49 pm
| | The #Saints ruled out CB Marshon Lattimore, WR Michael Thomas, WR Jarvis Landry, G Andrus Peat and TE Adam Trautman for tomorrow night's game vs. the #Cardinals. (Ari Meirov on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Saints will once again be depleted at the receiver position but will have Chris Olave (concussion) back in the mix to go along with Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith. Expect Juwan Johnson to handle the bulk of receiving duties at tight end.
| Chris Olave set to play Week 7
Tells reporters he has been cleared from concussion
By: Doug Orth | Tue Oct 18, 10:00 pm
| | Saints WR Chris Olave said he is fully cleared, 100% and planning to return Thursday at Arizona after missing Week 6 with a concussion. (ESPN - Mike Triplett)
FFToday's Take: It is great news for a receiving corps that figures to be without Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) again. What is less clear right now is who will be throwing him the ball as both Andy Dalton (back) and Jameis Winston (back, ankle) are limited in practice. They might also be fighting for the starting quarterback job as well. Either way, Olave makes for a good start Thursday despite facing an Arizona defense that has done a surprisingly good job at limiting wide receiver production through six games.
| Chris Olave not expected to play
Saints down top three receivers
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Oct 16, 8:00 am
| | Saints’ WR Chris Olave, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a concussion, is not expected to play vs. the Bengals, per source. This would leave the Saints without WRs Olave, Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Saints will be running out the JV squad at receiver against the Bengals today. Marquez Callaway and Tre'Quan Smith are likely to start at receiver and we could see more Taysom Hill usage this week making him a more viable play if you have nothing else at tight end.
| Michael Thomas Out, Andy Dalton to start for Saints
Jameis Winston Doubtful
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 7, 3:42 pm
| | Saints WR Michael Thomas officially out, QB Jameis Winston doubtful. WR Jarvis Landry listed as questionable after not practicing Friday, but coach Dennis Allen said he feels good about Landry’s chances. (Mike Triplett on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Dalton will get his second-straight start for the Saints. He finished with a 236-1-0 line and completed 71% of his passes against the Vikings last week in London. With Thomas out, expect rookie Chris Olave to be the main receiving weapon against the Seahawks.
| Alvin Kamara is Out for Week 4
Still battling rib issue
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Oct 2, 7:46 am
| | #Saints Coach Dennis Allen just confirmed to me Alvin Kamara will NOT play today (ribs). Jarvis Landry (ankle) will play. #MINvsNO (Stacey Dales on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: the Saints are going with the JV team in London today. Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas and now Kamara will all sit. Andy Dalton, Mark Ingram, Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry should be the leading fantasy point producers against the Vikings. Ingram slides in as a Flex consideration. Latavius Murray has been elevated from the practice squad.
| Michael Thomas Out, Jameis Winston listed as Doubtful
Andy Dalton likely to get the start
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 30, 9:37 am
| | Saints’ HC Dennis Allen told reporters that WR Michael Thomas is out Sunday vs. the Vikings. Saints also believe it’s doubtful that Jameis Winston, who didn’t practice today for a third straight day, will play Sunday, which makes it likely that QB Andy Dalton will start vs. the Vikings. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Thomas is dealing with a foot injury and didn't practice all week. His absence should create more room for Alvin Kamara to get involved in the pass game. Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry are both fantasy viable in their matchup against the Vikings in London. Dalton is likely to get the start at quarterback and makes for viable QB2 option.
