Saints' Chris Olave: Game-tying TD among six catches
Chris 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 New Orleans 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.

Chris Olave brought in three of five targets for 30 yards in the New Orleans 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.

Saints' Chris Olave: Likely to play through injury again
Chris Olave, who is officially questionable to play Sunday versus Tampa Bay due to a lingering back issue, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Olave also dealt with the back issue last week, but he was able to play and logged a 4-47-1 receiving line in a loss to Miami.
