Chris Olave Injury Update: Latest on Saints WR for Fantasy Football Week 4

The New Orleans Saints' perfect start to the season ended in Week 3 as they suffered a 15-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Derek Carr and the offense couldn't move the ball downfield against a determined Eagles defense and mustered only 219 yards of offense, less than half of what Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia's offense managed to pile up.

The Saints' struggles in the passing game crippled the team's odds of winning the game. Chris Olave was the only receiver who could find any impact and was responsible for 86 of the 142 passing yards that Carr racked up against the Eagles' defense. He also scored the Saints' only touchdown of the game, his first of the season.

Olave's gritty performance was the only silver lining in the Saints' torrid outing against the Eagles. The wide receiver is arguably New Orleans' first option in the passing game.

They'll need his services in their Week 4 clash against divisional rivals Atlanta Falcons to bounce back from the loss to Philadelphia. However, Olave's participation is in serious jeopardy.

Chris Olave Injury Update: Will Saints WR play in Week 4?

On Friday, Olave suffered a hamstring injury in practice, which could rule him out of the Saints' road trip to Atlanta. The wide receiver's status for the game against the Falcons has been listed as questionable on New Orleans' latest injury report.

Olave will likely undergo a medical test on Sunday morning, which will determine whether he's healthy enough to suit up and play. His absence could be a massive blow to the Saints' odds of winning in Atlanta.

The wide receiver had an innocuous outing in the Saints' 47-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. He bounced back with an impactful performance against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2, finishing the game with four catches for 81 receiving yards.

The wide receiver was the only player to make the Eagles' defense sweat in Week 3, showcasing that when the going gets tough, Carr and the offense rely on him to bail them out. Olave's status for the Saints' divisional battle against the Falcons on Sunday remains up in the air as it'll be a game-time decision.
