Chris Olave's Preseason Player AnalysisOlave remains easily the Saints’ best WR.
He improved in nearly every metric from Year 1 to Year 2, and the upward trajectory should continue this season
Though Derek Carr is still the QB, Olave will get the targets to be an every-week starter and a WR1, which is where he sits in our rankings.
Chris Olave Headed to IR for Concussions
The Saints are expected to place WR Chris Olave on IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That would obviously mean at least four games down for Olave following his fifth career concussion. But he also might not play again this season.
Chris Olave Out With Concussion
Saints WR Chris Olave sustained a concussion in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs and won't return. It's Olave's fourth documented concussion. He's a long shot to be cleared in time for Thursday night's game vs. the Broncos.
Derek Carr Expected To Miss Multiple Games With Oblique Injury
Saints QB Derek Carr is expected to miss "multiple games" with the oblique injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Chiefs, NFL Network reports. He'll likely miss this weekend's game vs. the Bucs and the following Thursday's game against the Broncos. It sounds like he'll have a chance to be back for Week 8. New Orleans' bye isn't until Week 12.
Derek Carr Suffers Oblique Injury
Saints QB Derek Carr suffered an oblique injury in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He's scheduled for an MRI on Tuesday to get a better look at the damage. "Not good," Carr said when asked how he felt afterward.
Chris Olave (Hamstring) Travels with Team
Saints WR Chris Olave is traveling with the team to Atlanta for Sunday's game. Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football reports that Olave "still has a real chance" to play in the game. The 1 p.m. ET kickoff at least means we'll have plenty of other options available when we find out whether Olave's active. Factor in the risk of re-injury as you're making your lineup decisions, though.
