Chris Olave Contract Talks Not Expected to Affect Camp Participation

Saturday, July 25, 12:45 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave and the team remain in talks on a contract extension, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The current expectation is that the negotiations will not affect Olave's participation when training camp opens. He is entering the final year of his rookie deal after catching 100 passes for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns in 16 games last season, all career highs. Olave also earned second-team All-Pro honors and reached 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in four years. His contract status is separate from the blood clot discovered in his lung before the 2025 finale, an issue that kept him out of team drills during part of the offseason program. The Saints are still working toward a new deal, but there is no indication that the talks themselves will keep Olave off the field at the start of camp.

Michael Wilson in a Position to Succeed in Mike LaFleur's Offense

Friday, July 24, 4:17 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson thinks that new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense will put him in a "position to succeed" after his breakout 2025 campaign, according to PHNX Cardinals. "Look at the history of like the Rams with Puka and Cooper Kupp playing the Z role, the ball's gonna find you a lot," Wilson said. The 26-year-old former third-rounder from Stanford in 2023 surprisingly finished as a top-15 fantasy wideout last year, setting career highs across the board in catches (78), targets (126), receiving yards (1,006), touchdowns (seven), and yards per catch (12.9) in his third year in the NFL. The move from Kyler Murray to veteran Jacoby Brissett at QB opened the floodgates for Wilson, and it also helped that Marvin Harrison Jr. battled through several nagging injuries that caused him to miss time. Brissett is back as Arizona's starter under center, but the passing volume he had last year isn't sustainable in a new offense, and Harrison is now healthy and motivated. Wilson will be a key weapon in the Cardinals' passing game going forward, but fantasy managers shouldn't be buying his 2025 production. RotoBaller is expecting regression, ranking him as the overall WR40 for the upcoming campaign.
