Chris Olave Wants to Get a New Deal Done Before Training Camp

Wednesday, June 24, 11:38 AM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave said he would love to get something done on a contract extension before training camp this summer to "not affect team chemistry," according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Olave seemed optimistic during organized team activities that he and the team could get something worked out soon. The Saints have been in talks with the former first-rounder since last year about a new deal, and both sides have spoken positively of the situation. Although Olave wasn't a full participant in OTAs and minicamp as he recovered from a blood-clot issue that kept him out of Week 18 last year, he spent the offseason around the team's facility, which is a good sign. The 25-year-old wideout is expected to come off blood-thinners at the end of the month and should be a full-go for training camp at the end of July. In 16 starts in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL, Olave meshed nicely with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and finished with career highs in catches (100), targets (156), receiving yards (1,163), and touchdowns (nine). In head coach Kellen Moore's rising offense, Olave is a clear WR1 fantasy target with a stable floor.

Has Marvin Harrison Jr.'s Redraft Value Fallen Too Far?

Friday, June 26, 12:23 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. struggled with both injuries and inconsistency in 2025, finishing the year with just 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns on 73 targets across 12 games. The 23-year-old has flashed upside as a ball-winner and a red zone threat, but he's largely failed to live up to the prospect hype that led to him being the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Entering 2026, Harrison Jr. is definitely behind star Cardinals tight end Trey McBride on the team's target pecking order and may even have slipped behind fellow wideout Michael Wilson. However, Harrison Jr. will have a chance to work with a new coaching staff this season, which could be the fresh start he needs. Harrison Jr. is reportedly still recovering from the myriad injury issues that forced him to miss five games last season, but he should be ready to go for the start of 2026. Given that he's fallen all the way down the low-end WR3 range by redraft ADP, Harrison Jr. may be an ideal buy-low candidate for fantasy managers.
