  8H ago • By RotoWire

  Olave caught 10 of 16 targets for 148 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-6 win over the Jets. Olave caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Shough in the third quarter and a 38-yard touchdown pass from Taysom Hill in the fourth quarter. New Orleans' No. 1 receiver set season highs in targets and receiving yards as the Saints extended their winning streak to three games. Olave has scored five touchdowns in his last six games while showing promising chemistry with Shough heading into another favorable matchup in Week 17 against the Titans.

  Olave caught six of nine targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Panthers. Olave recorded a 12-yard touchdown reception with 2:29 remaining in the fourth quarter. The ensuing PAT tied the game, and Saints kicker Charlie Smyth tacked on the game-winning 47-yard field goal with two seconds left. Working as New Orleans' clear No. 1 wide receiver, Olave has reached 50 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in all but one game this season. He'll likely maintain a prominent role in Week 16 against the subpar Jets secondary.

• Saints' Chris Olave: Three catches in win

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Olave brought in three of five targets for 30 yards in the Saints' 24-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. Olave played through a back issue for the second straight week and put together a modest performance by his lofty standards, although Devaughn Vele was the Saints' leader in receiving yards with just 10 more than Olave. The fourth-year wideout's yardage tally was his second lowest of the season, but Olave managed to keep his season-long streak of no less than three catches in any game alive. Olave next takes aim at the Panthers secondary in a Week 15 home clash next Sunday.

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Olave (back) is active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. For the second week in a row, Olave took a questionable tag into game day, but he'll once again be able to play though the back issue after turning in limited practices Thursday and Friday. Olave didn't appear to be operating with any restrictions during last week's loss to the Dolphins, finishing with four catches for 47 yards on seven targets while notching his fifth touchdown catch of the season.

• Saints' Chris Olave: Questionable to face Bucs

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Olave (back) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Saints team reporter Erin Summers reports. Olave's practice participation has been capped by a back injury, which also had him listed as questionable for this past Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He managed to play through it against Miami and caught four of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. If he gets the green light to play against the Buccaneers, Olave will likely continue to function as the focal point of New Orleans' passing game, as he ranks fourth in the NFL with 115 targets this season.
