Olave caught six of 10 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers. While Olave saw a team-high 10 targets, Alvin Kamara caught one more pass and gained one more receiving yard for the team leads in those categories, while Devaughn Vele caught Tyler Shough's only TD. Olave has failed to reach 60 yards in three straight games after topping 100 in three of his first four contests this season, but he'll get a bye week to reset before facing the Browns in Week 9.

Olave (illness) is listed as active Sunday at the Giants, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. An illness afflicted Olave during the entirety of Week 6 prep, holding him to one limited practice Friday, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that the wide receiver is expected to suit up. Indeed, that has come to pass, and Olave will continue to operate as the unquestioned top target for QB Tyler Shough, who currently ranks second in the NFL this season with 205 pass attempts.

Olave (illness) was limited at Friday's practice and will be listed as questionable for Week 6. An illness cost Olave the first two practices of the week, but he was able to take the field Friday and get some work in. He is not in the clear for Sunday's matchup with the Giants just yet, but his participation alone Friday suggests it's more likely than not he will be available.

Olave didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Olave is coming off a season-worst 4-46-0 line on six targets in this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but a stout defense and not a health concern was to blame. As Week 6 prep kicks off, his absence on a Wednesday with an illness isn't as worrisome as it could be not long before game day, and he at least has two more chances to practice Thursday and Friday to prove his health ahead of Sunday's contest at the Giants.

Olave secured four of six targets for 46 yards in the Saints' 23-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. Olave found himself in the familiar position of either tying for the team lead or setting the pace for the Saints in receptions, receiving yards and targets, but the numbers he generated in each of those categories left plenty to be desired. Olave's substandard production should be taken in context, however, considering Tyler Shough threw for only 96 yards at 3.8 yards per attempt and was picked off twice as well. Olave's numbers were easily season lows across the board, but he should have a good chance to bounce back in a Week 6 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.
