Chris Olave Likely to See High Volume Against the Falcons

Saturday, November 22, 12:12 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave hauled in five receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Week 10 victory against the Panthers. Olave's first 100-yard game of the season was highlighted by a 62-yard touchdown in the second quarter. The Saints already traded Rashid Shaheed at the deadline and have also ruled out Brandin Cooks, as the team is set to waive him at his request. This opens up even more opportunity for Olave, who is already third in the league in targets. He'll carry a 60-664-4 line into a matchup against the Falcons, who just allowed 448 passing yards to Bryce Young and the Panthers. Olave is a borderline WR1/WR2 for that contest.

Rashee Rice News

Rashee Rice on the Week 13 Injury Report With Hamstring Issue

Monday, November 24, 7:59 PM

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Kansas City Chiefs listed wide receiver Rashee Rice (hamstring) as limited on Monday on their estimated injury report with a hamstring issue. Rice is a little banged up coming out of Sunday's overtime win against the Indianapolis Colts, making his status for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys worth monitoring. The 25-year-old was heavily involved in KC's game plan in Week 12, catching eight of his 12 targets for a season-high 141 yards, although he was unable to find paydirt. Xavier Worthy (ankle) was also listed as limited, but we expect both pass-catchers to be active in Dallas this week. As long as Rice is active in Week 13, he should be considered a must-start in fantasy lineups, especially against a porous Dallas secondary. Rice scored three touchdowns in his first two games, but he is now on a three-game touchdown drought. If active, Rice could feast on Thursday.
