Chris Olave is not participating in team drills. His individual workouts are being monitored to ensure there is no recurrence of the blood clot, which was caught early prior to Week 18 of last year.
Olave is coming off a dominant campaign where he commanded a 29.4-percent Target Share (No. 10) and 1,840 Air Yards (No. 1). He converted that massive opportunity into 100 receptions and 16.8 Fantasy Points Per Game (No. 7).
The Saints are in active negotiations with Olave for a long-term contract extension, which signals those close to the situation are not concerned about his availability. While fantasy mangers should be aware of the situation, Olave is not yet 26 years old and remains a locked-in high-volume cornerstone for fantasy football rosters across all formats.

Chris Olave playing at 195 pounds after an intensive offseason program will not compromise the speed that generated 1,840 Air Yards and 31 Deep Targets last season, both ranking No. 1 at the position.
His physical development aligns with an impending contract extension following a dominant campaign where he posted a 31.8-percent Dominator Rating. Olave commands both an elite target share and air yards share, and with Tyler Shough under center in Kellen Moore’s system, he is locked-in as a fantasy WR1 in both best ball and dynasty fantasy football formats.
New Orleans is cooking up a brand new aerial assault with first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson building instant chemistry with quarterback Tyler Shough. Despite being limited to just nine games last year, Tyson commands a spectacular 34.2-percent (97th-percentile) College Target Share and an elite 18.1 (99th-percentile) Breakout Age.
Jordan will stretch the field horizontally freeing up Chris Olave to stretch the field vertically in 2026. This fun pull quote is a good reminder that from Shough to Travis Etienne to Juwan Johnson, all pass catches in the New Orleans offense are set up to cook this season and are strong buys in all fantasy formats.
The New Orleans Saints just secured a weapon at No. 136 in Bryce Lance, a 6-foot-3 WR who dominated the NFL Combine with a 4.34-second 40-yard dash and an elite 115.6 Speed Score (98th-percentile). Lance is an analytical sleeper who transitioned from special teams to a dominant WR profile, posting back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns at North Dakota State fueled by a 21.2 Yards Per Reception and elite lower-body explosion—verified by a 41.5-inch vertical jump.
In dynasty formats, the big winner of this pick is Tyler Shough, who now has gotten new weapons in WR Jordyn Tyson, TE Oscar Delp and Lance added to join Chris Olave. However, Lance may have to wait a year or two to become fantasy relevant.
The New Orleans Saints just landed an absolute weapon at No. 8 overall in Jordyn Tyson, a potential alpha with an elite 18.1 Breakout Age (99th-percentile) that proves he was dominating grown men while his peers were still at prom. Tyson is an analytical god with a massive 46.8% College Dominator Rating and a 34.2% Target Share that scream “high-volume target hog,” and he’s now stepping into a Saints offense desperate for a three-level separator who can win at the catch point.
For dynasty purposes, it’s wheels up for Tyson as a locked-in Top-5 rookie pick with an elite WR1 ceiling, especially considering his 3.04 Yards Per Route Run and the high-leverage opportunity he’ll command from Day 1 in the Big Easy. The secondary winner here is Tyler Shough, who now enters year two with Chris Olave and Tyson on the outside and new addition Travis Etienne in the backfield.
Jordan Tyson’s draft stock is surging following a recent private workout, firmly positioning him as a Top-10 draft pick. Underhill considers him the most talented receiver in the class, citing the Giants at No. 5 and the Saints at No. 8 as likely suitors. New Orleans hosted Tyson for a Top-30 visit in April and Underhill described Tyson as being “by far, the most talented wide receiver in this whole entire class,” and he sees Tyson as an “enticing” option for the Saints.
Should Tyson land with the Giants and Saints, he would immediately slot in as the No. 2 WR on the depth chart. Kansas City is the most fantasy-friendly landing spot as Tyson projects to be an NFL X-receiver and would be tethered to Patrick Mahomes long-term. Regardless of which teams selects him, Tyson is expected to immediately step into a highly productive, fantasy-friendly role. Fantasy gamers should freely select him as early as the 1.02 in single QB and 1.03 in superflex dyansty rookie drafts.
