Chris Olave
Chris Olave battled through a hamstring injury in Week 1, and the New Orleans Saints wide receiver is officially listed as questionable for Week 2. Originally selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Ohio State product quickly established himself as the team’s go-to option in the passing attack. Debuting with a 1,000-yard season, Olave has battled multiple injuries throughout his career but has been the top receiver whenever healthy. This trend continued with former second-round pick Tyler Shough under center, as Olave finished Week 1 with 10 receptions for 182 yards on 13 targetsa s the Saints almost pulled off an improbable comeback.
While Chris Olave is officially questionable, ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes he will suit up for Week 2. In a recent tweet, the NFL insider said that the wideout “is expected to play” in Week 2’s contest against the Baltimore Ravens. While this is not yet official, Schefter’s wording suggests it would be a surprise if the Ohio State product could not play.

Chris Olave Injury Update: Saints WR “Expected to Play” Against Ravens
The Saints enter this game as underdogs, and they’ll need Chris Olave to play his best football if they hope to take down the Baltimore Ravens. The first game of the Jesse Minter Era was an unquestioned success, as the team dominated the Indianapolis Colts in a 41-23 blowout victory. Lamar Jackson looks as good as ever, Zay Flowers was unstoppable, and most of the Colts points came long after the outcome had already been decided.
With first-round pick Jordyn Tyson sidelined, Chris Olave will likely see a massive target share in what should be a high-scoring affair. Tyler Shough is no Lamar Jackson, but the Louisville product has played well thus far in his young career. While he may not be able to keep up in a shootout, this should be a high-scoring affair, and Olave will likely be a key part of this contest.
