Keenan Allen News
Friday, October 9, 11:53 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen (groin) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Pittsburgh, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Allen was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday after missing last week's win over Washington. He was also questionable heading into that game before the Colts downgraded him to out Saturday, so his status is worth keeping an eye on again this weekend. The veteran had his best performance of the season before getting hurt, catching six of nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown against Houston in Week 3. He's totaled 13 receptions for 100 yards through three games. Indianapolis remains without Alec Pierce (heel), who is on injured reserve, and Ashton Dulin (hamstring) has also been ruled out Sunday. Allen could see a decent number of targets if he's able to return, although his lingering groin issue makes him a risky WR4/flex option against the Steelers.

Chris Olave News
Friday, October 9, 10:53 AM
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into the Week 5 game on Sunday against the visiting Minnesota Vikings, according to Saints reporter Jeff Nowak. Olave popped up on the team's injury report on Thursday after he had his foot stepped on during practice, according to head coach Kellen Moore. The matchup this weekend for the Saints and Olave is not an easy one against the blitz-happy Vikings defense, but the 26-year-old is a no-brainer must-start WR1 in fantasy when he is healthy. Olave, a former first-rounder in 2022 from Ohio State, has caught 35 of his 48 targets for 491 yards (league-high 122.8 yards per game) and one touchdown to begin his fifth year in the NFL. He has a lot of chemistry with second-year quarterback Tyler Shough in a pass-happy offense and should continue to be heavily targeted this weekend.
