Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Zay Flowers

Sunday, December 22, 3:19 AM

The New Orleans Saints have decided to keep wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) on the sidelines for at least one more week. New Orleans opened his window for activation from injured reserve on Thursday but Olave has yet to complete his progress through the league's concussion protocol. He is listed as out on the team's official injury report ahead of their Week 16 game against the Green Bay Packers. Olave was placed on injured reserve after suffering his second concussion of the season in Week 9, which took place just three weeks after his previous concussion. It was the fourth such injury in the 24-year-old's three years as a pro. In comments to the media, interim head coach Darren Rizzi said of Olave's potential return, "If he can make it back for the end of the year, great. If he doesn't, he doesn't," indicating the team is in no rush to bring him back in 2024.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder) was listed as a DNP in Sunday's practice estimation. The wideout had five catches for 100 yards in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. But he has a shoulder injury, so he wouldn't have practiced had the team actually done so on Sunday. With the quick turnaround heading into Wednesday's game versus the Houston Texans, fantasy managers should monitor things closely over the next few days. If Flowers can't get out there for that one, Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews would be the favorites to see more looks from Lamar Jackson.
