Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Zay Flowers

Thursday, November 27, 6:01 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports. Head coach Kellen Moore downplayed the injury on Wednesday after Olave practiced in a limited capacity due to back spasms, but there is some concern after he was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday. Friday will be an important day for fantasy managers to monitor the 25-year-old wideout's status for Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. If Olave were to miss Sunday's game, tight end Juwan Johnson and wide receiver Devaughn Vele figure to see more opportunities, with Johnson likely to rank as a borderline TE1 for Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season. Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.
