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.

Travis Hunter News

Unclear When Travis Hunter Will be a Full-Go

Tuesday, June 9, 9:43 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that he's "extremely pleased" with where wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee) is at "both mentally and physically" this offseason, according to 1010 XL/92.5 FM. However, Coen also said he doesn't know when Hunter will be "full-go" during offseason workouts after the 23-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner tore the LCL in his knee in late October of his rookie season in 2025. Hunter has "looked good" and has added muscle mass to his body as he prepares for Year 2 in the NFL. Coen said there's "no question he has gotten stronger." The former second overall pick last year out of the University of Colorado is missing out on live reps on the field this offseason, but he's working extremely hard elsewhere, and the Jags plan to continue to use him as a two-way player in 2026. The problem for fantasy managers is that Jacksonville plans to use the two-way star more as a defensive back this year, and with the Jags already stacked at WR with Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington, it could be an uphill battle for Hunter to contribute every week as a pass-catcher. Hunter caught 28 of his 45 targets for 298 yards and one touchdown in seven games in 2025, and he has fallen to No. 73 in RotoBaller's WR rankings in redraft formats this year.
