Saints Expected to Retain Chris Olave Through the Trade Deadline

Saturday, November 1, 12:47 PM

The Athletic's Diana Russini reports that the New Orleans Saints are expected to retain top wide receiver Chris Olave through the NFL's November 4 trade deadline. Olave has one more year on his current contract with New Orleans following 2025. The 25-year-old is having a solid season so far, recording 52 catches for 503 yards and three touchdowns on 83 targets. Olave has been one of the league's most consistent target-earners, recording double-digit targets in six out of eight games. Olave remaining in New Orleans might be the best thing for fantasy managers, as his target volume would almost certainly go down if he were moved to a contender. He profiles as a fantasy WR2 heading into the Saints' Week 9 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Kyle Monangai Becomes Interesting Option for Week 9

Sunday, November 2, 8:19 AM

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai is set to be the lead back for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The rookie back has seen an increased role in recent weeks, but will be the primary focus in the running back this weekend. The Bears will be without D'Andre Swift (groin), so Monangai will get a chance to show what he can do. The 23-year-old rushed for 81 yards on 13 attempts and scored a touchdown in Week 7. Given bye weeks and injuries, Monangai could offer RB2 value for this weekend.
