Chris Olave Still Recovering From Blood Clot

Wednesday, June 10, 4:46 PM

New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that the team has kept wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) out of team drills this offseason because he's still recovering from the blood clot that kept him out late last season, according to Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune. Olave missed two games late in the year, but the former 11th overall pick in 2022 out of Ohio State still managed to record a career-high 1,163 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on 100 receptions in 16 starts for the Saints in his fourth year in the NFL. The 25-year-old quickly developed chemistry with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough in 2025 in Moore's pass-happy offense, and his arrow will be pointing up again in 2026 as long as his blood-clot issue doesn't linger going into training camp and the start of the 2026 regular season early in September. The Saints have more weapons on offense around Olave in rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson and running back Travis Etienne Jr. out of the backfield, but he should still at least be considered a low-end WR1 in fantasy drafts this year.

Marvin Mims Jr. Remains a Frustrating Dynasty Hold

Thursday, June 11, 5:37 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has been a frustrating dynasty hold for much of his young career. Through three years in the league, he has flashed legitimate playmaking upside, but he's never logged higher than a 36.5% season-long snap share, and with the addition of Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos receiver room, that is unlikely to change in 2026. Mims is entering the final season of his rookie contract, and while his path to playing time looks to be blocked for at least one more year, dynasty managers with the luxury to do so should continue to hold until he has the chance to potentially reach free agency at the age of 25. With 4.38 speed and a proven history of making plays behind the defense whenever given the opportunity, the door is not fully closed for Mims to find a more impactful role on his second contract.
