Chris Olave Cleared to Play in Week 7

Friday, October 17, 3:43 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (hip) is "full go with no injury designation" for his team's Week 7 matchup against the Chicago Bears, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Olave has been a target machine so far this season, recording 39 catches for 342 yards and one touchdown on 64 targets through his first six games. The 25-year-old has recorded double-digit targets and at least six receptions in all but one contest. He's struggled with inefficiency at times this season, but Olave is coming off his best game from a yardage perspective (six catches for 98 yards) in Week 6. Olave profiles as a solid fantasy WR2 in Week 7 against Chicago.

Rachaad White Sees 20 Touches, Scores Again in Lead-Back Role

Sunday, October 12, 11:21 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has really stepped up in the team's lead-back role the last two weeks with Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) nursing multiple injuries. In the 30-19 win over the visiting San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in Week 6, White stayed productive with a team-leading 17 rushing attempts for 65 yards and a touchdown while adding three catches on three targets for 21 additional yards. The 26-year-old hasn't been all that productive with his touches the last two weeks since seeing an expanded role in the backfield, but he has delivered for fantasy managers with a nose for the end zone, scoring three total times in the last two games with Irving out. It's unclear if Irving will return in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football, but if he misses a third straight game, White will maintain his plug-and-play RB2 status in fantasy.
