Chris Olave's 2024 season was one to forget -- for him and the fantasy managers that spent an early draft pick on him. The multiple concussions he sustained last year limited him to only eight games with 32 receptions and one score. He and the team are saying he's now symptom-free and ready to roll for 2025.
Of course, with the status of this offense, Olave's potential for fantasy stardom is minimal at best. He did, however, have his best game of the year in 2024 with Rattler and Haener playing QB -- an eight-catch, 107-yard performance at the Los Angeles Chargers. Whether or not that kind of game is in the cards this year remains to be seen, but the WR3 that Olave is currently being drafted as is about where he should go. As in Kamara's case, there will be some weeks when Olave is a no-show. So, if your roster can absorb an inconsistent WR3 receiver, Olave's your guy. Counting on him as your WR2 will not be for the faint of heart.

 Chris Olave Out for Week 18
Blood clot discovered in his lung
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Jan 1, 10:15 am
|  | Chris Olave will be out this week, per source. A blood clot was detected in his lung. Got caught early before anything bad could happen and will be fine. But not playing this week. (Nick Underhill on X)
FFToday's Take: This is not a condition we typically see with NFL players but nevertheless, Olave will miss the Saints final regular season game in 2025. He's been the lone consistent fantasy option in this offense that will now feature Kevin Austin Jr. and Dante Pettis at wide receiver in Week 18. TE Juwan Johnson will also push for double-digit targets against the Falcons.
