ESPN's Erin Summers reports that New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (head) is a full go ahead of the team's training camp. It's excellent news for the former Ohio State Buckeye, whose 2024 was marred by multiple concussions that forced him to miss nine contests. Olave is a gifted NFL wide receiver, though we haven't quite seen his full upside in fantasy. Despite entering the season healthy, that may not be the case again, with questions surrounding the quarterback position after Derek Carr's abrupt departure. As of now, Tyler Shough appears to be the favorite to win the job over Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener. If Shough is just average, that'd be enough to make Olave's current price in drafts worth the risk. Talent has never been a concern for the 25-year-old, but his current situation doesn't inspire much confidence -- even as his team's unquestioned No. 1 wideout.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will plead guilty to a lesser vehicular offense commonly referred to as a "wet reckless" a year after his initial DUI citation, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. As a result, Addison will pay a standard fine and complete two online courses, although we must still wait to see how the NFL reacts. The 23-year-old's probation is expected to be terminated early in six months. A 2025 suspension for Addison is still possible, although if he is suspended by commissioner Roger Goodell, we wouldn't expect it to be for more than two or three games at the most. The former first-rounder took a slight step back in Year 2 in 2024 with a 63-875-9 line in 15 starts, but he was still plenty productive behind All-Pro Justin Jefferson. With a suspension still looming, Addison's fantasy value is still a bit shaky as a WR3/flex.
