Chris Olave Ruled Out For Week 18

Saturday, January 4, 3:50 PM

According to Katherine Terrell of ESPN, the New Orleans Saints have ruled out wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) for Sunday's regular season finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The star wideout has been sidelined since suffering his second concussion of the season during their Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Even though Olave has been able to participate in practice as a full participant over the past two weeks, Olave has not been able to pass the league's protocol to officially suit up. The 24-year-old has only been able to participate in just six full games this season. Across this small sample size, Olave tallied at least 80 receiving yards in four of them and found the end zone once. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kevin Austin to lead the passing attack on Sunday.

Khalil Shakir Snags Six Passes In Wild Card Victory

Sunday, January 12, 6:00 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir caught all six of his targets for 61 yards in the team's 31-7 win over the Denver Broncos in the opening round of the postseason. It's the first time since Week 7 that Shakir secured all his targets and the sixth time this season. He led the Bills in receptions and targets but trailed Curtis Samuel (68) in yards thanks to a long completion to the latter. Shakir remains Josh Allen's favorite receiver and should be heavily involved when the Bills host the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional round next weekend.
