Saints' Chris Olave: Six grabs in Week 7 loss
Chris 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.

Saints' Chris Olave: Finds end zone in Week 6 win
Chris Olave caught four of seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Giants.While he didn't see his usual volume on an afternoon in which Tyler Shough threw for only 144 yards, Olave was on the other end of one of the QB's three scores, hauling in an 18-yard TD early in the fourth quarter that proved to be crucial after the Giants staged a late, but unsuccessful, rally. Olave got double-digit targets in each of the first four games of the season, but over the last two contests he's been targeted just 13 times, posting an 8-89-1 line. He'll look to regain some steam in Paris for a Week 7 matchup against the Steelers.

Saints' Chris Olave: Active in Week 6
Chris 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.

Saints' Chris Olave: Expected to play Sunday
Chris Olave (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Olave was contained to just one limited session (Friday) during Week 6 prep as he dealt with an illness, but it won't stop him from being available Sunday. His status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but assuming he's active, he'll be looking to build upon the 39-537-1 line on 54 targets that he's accrued through the first five contests of the campaign.

Chris Olave (illness) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.With no practice so far this week for Olave due to an illness, he has just one more chance to mix into drills Friday, or else he'll be at risk of heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at the Giants.

Saints' Chris Olave: DNP due to illness
Chris 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.

Saints' Chris Olave: Victim of Shough's struggles Sunday
Chris Olave secured four of six targets for 46 yards in the New Orleans 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.

Saints' Chris Olave: Good to go Sunday
Chris Olave (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.After being limited Thursday due to a foot issue, Olave's full participation Friday clears up his status for Week 5. The NFL's leader in targets (48) has a tough test against Minnesota's aggressive defense, but the New Orleans Saints can't run the ball and have been forced to dial up the pass at a high clip through four games. Olave is a lock-and-load WR1 every week.
