New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) was held out of Friday's scrimmage after he tweaked his ankle Thursday. Olave watched the full scrimmage and didn't appear to be in significant pain. Olave finished practice on Thursday despite initially having his ankle taped. Despite missing practice, there is little to no concern about Olave's ankle, and he was held out of practice as a precaution. Saints head coach Kellen Moore stated that "half a dozen starters would not suit up for their preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday," so expect Olave to be a part of that group. This likely has no significant impact on his current value, but it is worth monitoring. UPDATE: Olave's ankle injury is considered insignificant, and he's listed as day-to-day. He should be back soon.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden got his first snaps in the team's first preseason game on Saturday night against the New York Jets. Golden caught Jordan Love's only completed pass on a seven-yard slant in the team's second offensive series. Later in the drive, Golden was targeted again by Love but the play was nullified by a defensive penalty. That lone catch would be the only contribution Golden would make as his night was done following the second series. Drafted with the 23rd overall pick, Golden was the Packers' first wide receiver selected in the first round since Javon Walker in 2002. Golden brings some much-needed juice to the Packers and looks to carve an early niche in this receiver corps. Given the ambiguous nature of the current crop of Packers' pass-catchers. Golden has massive upside for fantasy as a WR4 option in fantasy drafts.
