Headline: Chris Olave Expected to Play Without Restrictions Against Titans Despite Back Injury
New Orleans, LA – New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is expected to suit up for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans despite being listed as questionable with a back injury, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Further solidifying Olave’s availability, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the star receiver will have no playing restrictions in the Week 17 matchup.
The news comes on the heels of Olave’s best performance of the season in Week 16 against the New York Jets, where he hauled in 10 receptions for a season-high 148 yards and two touchdowns.
While the Saints’ playoff hopes are slim after a disappointing 2-10 start, the team is currently riding a three-game winning streak. Head Coach Kellen Moore hopes to build a winning culture that will carry over into 2025.
Fantasy football managers should take note: Olave’s expected full participation makes him a must-start in Week 17. With rookie quarterback Tyler Shough showing a strong connection with Olave in recent weeks, the receiver possesses WR1 upside against the Titans’ defense.
