Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or Zay Flowers

Wednesday, October 15, 9:23 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (hip) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Olave appears to have picked up a minor hip injury during this past weekend's matchup against the New England Patriots. He looked good on the field as he hauled in six of his 10 targets for 98 yards in the loss. This is likely just the team being cautious with their star wideout early in the week. Fantasy managers should check back, but Olave is expected to be fine for the Week 7 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder), who was listed as questionable for the Week 6 game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams, is officially active for Sunday's contest. Flowers was limited in practice all week but will suit up as the Ravens look to avoid falling to 1-5 on the season. They'll have to do it without star quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for the second straight week, which won't be easy against L.A. Flowers caught all five of his targets for 72 yards in last week's blowout loss to the Houston Texans, with quarterback Cooper Rush making the start. It wasn't a bad showing for fantasy purposes, all things considered, but expecting a repeat of that performance from Flowers might be wishful thinking this weekend. He's definitely a fade candidate in DFS, and fantasy managers might want to consider benching him in regular leagues, too, as he's expected to play fewer snaps as he battles through his shoulder injury.
