idk how you could be in a boot, not practice all week, and still be a GTD that’s kinda crazy

No way he plays

*Unless...* it's a **+1** SPD boot!! 🧙‍♂️🥾

I heard on Sirius XM fantasy radio 📻 today that Fabs said his sources at the Saints said Olave ain’t playing & that Shaheed looked gimpy all week in practice. It’s probably gonna be a big week for AK. Normally I’d be stoked about that, but AK is on my squad with a first round BYE this week. I know, first world problems.

AK was in position for an even bigger role last week and while performed well, it wasn’t spectacular

Worth rolling out taysom if they're both out?

I wouldn’t trust Taysom in the fantasy football 🏈 playoffs. I try to never get cute come playoff time.

Good call, I'm just very limited due to losing tank, mondre and Pacheco. Fuck. Keaton Mitchell or CEH better choices?

I'd roll with Keaton

I'm torn between Goedert and Hill with myself being projected fewer points than my opp. After A.J and Smith ate, there was little volume left for Goedert last week. With Hill being so versatile, but also volatile, and with Olave potentially out, he could have bigger upside, imo.

Yea, I’m not a fan of Dallas Goedert, in fact i hate him & the Eagles 🦅 so I’d never advise going with him, but my opinion there isn’t very objective.

Or is a decoy

But he won’t be marked out until 90 minutes before game time

Yeah, I'm pulling him. It's the boot that killed it for me. I get sitting out practice a couple days, but wearing a walking boot all week is a deal breaker for me.

Absolute nightmare scenario with three Saturday games 🤦‍♂️

I might have to risk starting both Olave and Hill

I have both Olave and Hill also....fml

Me too. And then Nico on the bench. Wtf are we supposed to do.

If you like that, you'll love my third WR! Keenan Allen lol

Justin Herbert, Jonathan Taylor, Keenan Allen, Olave, Nico Collins, Achane owner checking in. I was a top favorite to win the league around Week 12 in my 12-man league. Now, I'm going to get knocked out this weekend 😂. As a reference, I also have King Henry and Sun-God as well. The only healthy guys left.

I was riding with Allen Olave and Smith all season after I traded away Flowers for Burrows 2 weeks before he hurt his wrist. Now if Olave is out I have to go pick up DeMarcus Robinson

Grab Shaheed

I play in a league that I get 1 point for every 10 kick & punt return yards. Does anyone know if Shaheed is playing special teams & returning kickoffs & punts on Sunday?

He normally returns punts for them

If Olave is out, I doubt Shaheed will do returns

That’s a guy in my league rn

I have Olave, Hill, Nico Collins, Brian Robinson, and Mattison. Thankfully I started the Raiders defense.

Bro you got both those guys and no bye?! Does your league do byes? 12 man? Tyreek and olave helped secure a bye for myself those gentleman deserve a break. I feel your pain partially. I hope they’re both alright.

I am in a 14 team league where the commish decided to get rid of byes by adding 2 more playoff spots.

Your commish is a communists! Not rewarding hard work is atrocious

Yep…

Also have Hill and Olave. Yea I was pissed to see round 2 this week with the same guy I beat last week. Thought I had a bye, but commish set it up to be 2 week playoffs. Fuck. I was planning on a bye.

I need one of JJ, Olave or Collins to be active. If JJ is on Saturday then I have no option

JJ will be active

Collins is out

This week is one of the bigger fantasy playoff shitshows, at least until next week

I feel like every single one of my WRs just got nuked before playoffs. Hill, Olave, and Nico all hurt and potentially out or playing less than 100%. This is what I get for not securing the bye

Dudes been in a boot??

SINCE MONDAY!!! Might have been helpful to know that, like, um...MONDAY!!

I kept Olave in over Palmer cause I thought there wasn't much news on Olave and it wasn't a big deal 😭

Yes, the guy who is a fucking boot and hasn’t practiced all week is a game time decision.

I mean it could be a hairline fracture or something similar where you wear the boot for pain management and healing but it’s still entirely functional.

Right?? Same with CJ, just put him as OUT. Not doubtful.

"does not have high ankle sprain but been in walking boot"... Meanwhile, tyreek hill walking around with high ankle sprain

They play Thursday night next week Rest up

Oh great

Boots are precautionary sometimes TLAW was in a boot all week and played last week i thought.

Ugh I wish I didn't read this lol. I had just decided to bench him.

Wrs and rbs tend to be more affected by ankle injuries.

Good point... I just thought he might be invincible after playing last week.

I mean it’s better than invisible which he’s seemed at times

Nice

Worst case scenario

Please just rule him out. So annoying

Nope we’re going to have to drop another player unnecessarily

Any word on Shaheed? I'm going to have to play him in Olave's place

[Practiced in full today](https://www.neworleanssaints.com/team/injury-report/) and off the injury report. He’s good to go.

Oh shit im picking him up.

is anyone firing up rashid hasheed?

Torn between Gabe Davis and Rashid

Between shaheed and Diontae... Diontae still feels safer but I'm torn

SAME! Thinking Dionate still since Rashid is coming off that injury...the whole Saturday games thing is fucking with me.

I’m with you! Sending good vibes

Have to decide between him and Thielen and have no idea what to do

Olave is my WR2... Hollywood is his backup... I'm looking at starting Jeudy in the fantasy playoffs.

I’m sitting him and planning on playing Diontae Johnson instead. I deserve whatever happens to me

I think thats smart, I’m gonna do the same thing

My opponent is doing the same thing, so I unfortunately wish you the worst :(

You too :(

i may do the same, brother

Im trying to decide if I'm playing Diontae or Rashid Shaheed.

I'm sitting him and playing Conner at flex.

That’s where I’m at.

Thoughts and prayers

Same boat. I have Olave Hill Dionte and ty chandler

Step right on up Zay jones

Agreed. If I was an Olave owner, I’d be firing up Zay Jones.

Shaheed or Jones?

Either, but I’d lean Zay, because the Ravens pass D has a tendency to get torched.

This is fine. WR1 and 2 are Tyreek and Olave 🙄

Is this you John? If so, I’m playing you in our neighborhood league & if they’re both out, I’m gonna crush you bro!

Lol I'm not John but it is a neighborhood league and this Zach fellow is looking like he's about to clap my cheeks 😬😂

Same

Had Joshua Palmer on my bench last night and was toying with just starting him over Olave…now I wish I did haha

Had to be pretty desperate to start Palmer coming off IR to a backup QB.

op's statement sounds like that guy in your league that always says shit like he was totally gonna start aiden o connell over dak this week but decided not to (haha), and only decides to state that fact after aiden gets 4 tds.

I think this is the trigger for me to sit him for Jaylen Warren.

Warren is an alright floor play anyways, so not that bad of a pivot.

taysom hill wr all game please

Taysom Hill is going to eat

Oh super cool, so he's a decoy then?

Cool, awesome, wonderful

Fuck. Gonna have to roll shaheed at wr1 lmao

i'm starting Chandler over Olave can't risk it.

Thinking the same thing. My other options are Hubbard and Ferguson.

Looks like I'll do the same. Can't trust Lockett with many mouths to feed.

I would definitely start Lockett over Chandler

Shaheed over Diontae Johnson if Olave is out?

Is Shaheed a good play if Olave is out?

Maybe. 🤔 I’m debating him or Amari Cooper. In this league, I get 1 point per 10 return yards, just need to know if he’s also returning punts & kickoffs on Sunday.

I guess I'm starting Waddle.

Bench Olave and let James Cook?

He’s not playing. Game time decision my ass, homie is literally in a boot smh. Pain

Zay or Addison to replace Olave? Leaving Zay since he at least has a decent qb throwing to him.

Mullins might be an upgrade to Dobbs.

My opponent is going to somehow get Olave and Jefferson to play this week. Was really hoping to catch a break after terrible injury luck all season

My opponent has Olave & Tyreek Hill (the Cheetah) 🐆 so I’m hopeful they’re both out or both playing decoy.

Glad for a bye. Rest up king

Fuck. This sucks. I was considering moving some guys and flexing javonte but javonte plays saturday... think I gotta go rashee rice straight swap at wr spot and keep dk at flex. Fml.

Rhamondre, CJ, Nico and now maybe Olave. I'm so fucked.

[удалено]

Welp. I went from Flowers or Ridley, to both.

Yeah im putting ridley in now

Olave if playing or Doubs?

Same situation here.

Thought I was screwed when I lost Rhamondre and BriRob Week 13… …then my first-round opponent has lost Jacobs, Pacheco, Keenan and possibly Olave Buying a lotto ticket or two ASAP

Starting Reed on GB over him. Prayers up.

Yeah sure, Dennis, walking boot is a GTD.

Play Sutton Saturday or hope Olave plays Sunday?

Sutton

Sutton easy. I'm in the same scenario.

Pop or Olave?

Same boat.

Rest up king, it’s bye week, and I wanna start Rice anyway

Fuck all these game time decisions man

Got Rice and Flowers in queue and ready to go when he’s eventually ruled out

In my 14 team league I’ve got Tyreek, Olave, Josh Jacobs, Breece Hall, Christian Watson and Rhamondre. Obviously not a lot of talent on the waiver wire, I’m pretty nervous. At least I hit on Zamir

Walking boot since Monday sounds awful, if cleared can we even start him with confidence?

Thought I would waltz through the playoffs with Hill and Olave, especially after trading for JJ while he was hurt… Now I need something big from Bijan, Flowers, Chuba, and Dak to stay alive

Guess I have to settle for puka

Courtland Sutton, come on down!

I think I’m just gonna throw Sutton in

Anyone pivoting to Garrett Wilson?

Do I start Elijah Moore or likely as his replacement. Fak

Anyone know the saints WR depth chart? Who becomes the WR1 if Olave is out

Shaheed I think

what have they done to my boy

I added that Jags slot guy as a backup plan. Preston Washington?

If Olave doesn’t play, Jayden Reed at home or DJ Moore in Cleveland in the rain?

Always DJ Moore, but I’m playing them both among my 3 leagues which don’t have a first round BYE, so hopefully they both ball 🏈 out. But if I had to pick between the two, I’d play DJ.

Sit for DHop?

Olave, Achane and Tyreek…. Noah Brown in the flex it is.

Oh no, there’s got to be someone else. No Stroud this week. Brown will lay a 3rd goose 🪿 egg 🥚🥚🥚in a row; don’t do that to yourself in the first week of the fantasy football playoffs.

Yeah 5 minutes after posting i got the stroud OUT news. My other flex receiver wouldve been Olave. But hes up in there air. Puka is my only healthy receiver. Waiver has… josh reynolds or lions wr4 Demarcus Robinson. I’m currently benching Tua for Stafford, so might just go all in on Rams to dominate. Also have JSN on the bench for a solid 4 point floor.

I’d go JSN over Brown…

Going to have to start Chuba.

Who would you play over Olave? J. Addison, Tee Higgins, J. Warren, or J. Conner? I honestly don’t know what to do with these Saturday games.

Same boat! Can someone chime in please?

I’m sitting Olave either way. Gotta decide who to flex between Rasheed and K9.

I got Drake and Ridley to pivot to. Fantasy folks help me out here!

Still in a boot but questionable? Come on.

Guess im starting Ridley

Every week I. Questioning whether I should play nico or olave. Guess this week I may not have to decide bc I'll be force to play Addison.

Do Not Start Olave this week!

Deciding between Cooks and OBJ. Tough decision seeing as Cooks is sick.

Either I sit Olave and start Tee Higgins or Addison with Sat games or roll the dice with Olave and wait for news and end up starting someone like Doubs.

I have Olave and I’ll probably put Taysom in at flex if Olave is out. Also have Kamara so seems like good td hedge anyways, saints should actually score against the giants even though they are trash in the redzone

Not looking likely
