The New Orleans Saints will face the Denver Broncos in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Chris Olave.
Is Chris Olave Playing In Week 7?
Week 7 Status: OUT
Chris Olave took a helmet-to-helmet hit while catching a pass in the first quarter. He was drilled by Buccaneers defensive back Zyon McCollum, leading to a fumble that was recovered for a touchdown by Antoine Winfield Jr.
The play was reviewed and upheld as a touchdown, but that was the least of the Saints’ issues, as Olave was diagnosed with a concussion. He hasn’t practiced this week and won’t play in Week 7.
Fellow New Orleans WR Rashid Shaheed (knee) won’t play, either. Spencer Rattler will have to lean on rookies Bub Means, Mason Tipton, and journeyman Cedrick Wilson Jr. as his primary receivers against Denver.
The Saints’ only saving grace? Broncos superstar cornerback Patrick Surtain II has a concussion and won’t suit up for Thursday night’s matchup.
