New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave did not participate in practice Thursday, Aug. 20, because of a scheduled day off.
Huddle Up: Olave is set to see plenty of targets this season with Jordyn Tyson out for around two months. He will be a low-end No. 1 or high-end No. 2 receiver in all fantasy leagues.

Updating previous reports, New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament, and he's expected to be out at least a month.
Huddle Up: That should push through Week 1 against the Detroit Lions Sept. 13. Kendre Miller (back) and Devin Neal (hamstring) have both dealt with issues in camp, but they're next in line. Neither were locks to make the team before this injury, so monitor this situation before jumping at one of them to handcuff to Travis Etienne.

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for around two months because of a hamstring injury. He could be a candidate for the short-term Reserve/Injured list.
Huddle Up: Tyson has dealt with hamstring injuries in the past and will now miss several regular season games as he recovers. Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson will likely see a majority of the targets in the passing game with Tyson out. Olave will be a weekly starting option in all leagues while Johnson can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues. Devaughn Vele and Bryce Lance will likely have bigger roles in the passing game while Tyson is sidelined and could be late round picks or waiver wire options in deeper leagues.

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson's (hamstring) current hamstring injury is not related to hamstring issues that he experienced last year while playing for Arizona State, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
Huddle Up: There is no timetable for Tyson's return to practice and this injury could affect his availability for the start of the 2026 season. If he needs to miss extended time, Tyson's targets could wind up going to WR Chris Olave and TE Juwan Johnson instead.

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) will miss time, and the injury could linger into the season, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
Huddle Up: Tyson's hamstring issue is not a good sign for him heading into his rookie season. The team will likely take it easy in pushing him to return, so fantasy players will likely see his targets go to Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson in his absence if it lingers into the regular season.

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson left practice with an apparent leg injury and did not return on Thursday, Aug. 13.
Huddle Up: Tyson projects to be the Saints' WR1 of the future, but he remains behind Chris Olave at this junction. Tyler Shough has not shown the production to make him their WR2 a significant fantasy piece, but Tyson could be an interesting flex play in deeper leagues.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with the Saints Thursday, July 30, worth as much as $132 million. The deal will include $90 million in guaranteed money.
Huddle Up: Olave has been talking with the team for a while and was finally able to reach an agreement with the Saints. He has been the main receiver for the Saints over the last few seasons and will be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues again in 2026.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave only participated in position drills during practice Wednesday, July 29, because of his contract situation, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
Huddle Up: The two sides have been working on an agreement for a while, but it seems like Olave will not participate in team drills until he receives an extension. He is the main target in the passing game for the Saints and will be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson is set to practice with the team on Wednesday, according to a report on Tuesday, July 28. "I think we'll see him play football tomorrow," New Orleans coach Kellen Moore said.
Huddle Up: Tyson, the 8th overall player selected in the 2026 NFL draft, caught 61 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns at Arizona State last season. As a junior in '24, he grabbed 75 balls for 1,101 yards and 10 scores for a team that made the College Football Playoff. Tyson is likely to be the WR2 in the Saints' offense, but injuries could force him into a larger role in 2026. He is a flex play in deeper leagues, but worth monitoring till a larger role is established otherwise.

Updating a previous report, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is having 'a lot of discussions' about a new contract, according to a Tuesday, July 28 report. Olave is playing in the last season of his rookie contract in 2026. On the field, Olave (blood clot) is now 'a full go' and 'has no restrictions' as he's been limited this offseason and has been expected to get off blood thinners before camp.
Huddle Up: Olave turned in his best season as a pro, finishing as the WR5 in fantasy last season with 100 receptions for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns. The Saints' offense looks set with Tyler Shough at quarterback, plus New Orleans drafting wide receiver Jordyn Tyson in the first round and adding Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency. Olave is still front and center as the top pass-catcher in the Saints' offense, so he'll be an easy pick as a WR1 for any fantasy squad in 2026.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave is still talking with the Saints about a possible contract extension, but his practice participation is not expected to be affected by the contract talks, according to sources.
Huddle Up: The two sides have been discussing a deal for a while, so Olave seems happy with how the talks have been going and is not considering holding in during camp. He is the main option in the passing game when healthy and will be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara agreed to a new deal Thursday, July 16, that includes a $6 million base salary and could be worth $8.5 million in incentives.
Huddle Up: Kamara turns 31 shortly and played just 11 games last season. He rushed for a career-low 3.6 yards per carry and had career lows across the board. They brought in Travis Etienne to run the show in the backfield, but this salary doesn't exactly spell backup for a running back. Kamara will be involved, but it will likely be more in the passing game. Etienne has been oft-injured, too, so Kamara could cash in on his PPR RB3 chips for stretches in the season.

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough is working out with several of his offensive teammates this week in San Diego.
Huddle Up: Shough earned the starting job last season and will look to improve his connection with several of his pass catchers leading up to training camp. He can be considered a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough was labeled as an x-factor for the 2026 season by ESPN's Seth Walder.
Huddle Up: Shough is coming off an impressive rookie season, and many are projecting a big jump from him. He got some help from the team when they added some new skill players, but he still shouldn't be ranked highly in fantasy leagues just yet. He is worth a stash in deeper leagues or two-quarterback leagues, but can be avoided otherwise.

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson pairs well with QB Tyler Shough based on his route-running ability, according to NewOrleansFootball.com's Nick Underhill.
Huddle Up: Tyson is likely to be the WR2 in the Saints' offense, but injuries could force him into a larger role in 2026. He is a flex play in deeper leagues, but worth monitoring till a larger role is established otherwise.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave said he would like to agree to a contract extension before the start of training camp, according to ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell.
Huddle Up: The two sides have been talking for a while, so fantasy players will need to see if Olave receives a new deal in the next few weeks. He is the top receiving option for the Saints and will see plenty of targets in 2026 if he stays healthy. He will be at least a No. 2 receiver in fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson (undisclosed) was limited during practice Tuesday, June 16, according to ESPN.com's Katherine Terrell .
Huddle Up: Tyson dealt with injuries during his college career, so the team is likely being cautious with him during offseason workouts. He should have an important role right away with the Saints and can be a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver in fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave, who has not fully practiced since Week 17 of last season, will reportedly get off of blood thinners on June 29 to potentially be fully cleared for all football activities, according to a source on Tuesday, June 16. Olave has only done individual work during the Saints' offseason training program after missing Week 18 with a blood clot in his lung.
Huddle Up: Olave turned in his best season as a pro, finishing as the WR5 in fantasy last season with 100 receptions for 1,163 yards and nine touchdowns. The Saints' offense looks set with Tyler Shough at quarterback, plus New Orleans drafting WR Jordyn Tyson in the first round and adding Travis Etienne Jr. in free agency.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara reported for the start of the mandatory minicamp Monday, June 15.
Huddle Up: Kamara skipped most of the voluntary workouts but is ready to practice this week. His future with the team is still uncertain, but he will share playing time with Travis Etienne if he stays. He could be a No. 3 or No. 4 running back in fantasy leagues depending on his role.

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave (illness) has been held out of team drills while he continues to recover from the blood clot that sidelined him at the end of last season, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
Huddle Up: Although the Saints are taking it easy with Olave, he has been participating in individual drills and reportedly gained muscle over the offseason. Expect Olave to be a full go for the start of the season, and he can be considered a strong WR2 with WR1 upside.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is not participating in the voluntary workouts this week, but head coach Kellen Moore said Kamara is expected to be at the mandatory minicamp.
Huddle Up: Kamara did take part in a voluntary workout last week and should be on the field during the minicamp. His status with the team is still uncertain at this point, so fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation over the next several weeks.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara and the team have not had "a lot of traction" on a revised deal that could allow Kamara to return to the Saints in 2026.
Huddle Up: Even if Kamara does end up back with the Saints, he is going to be behind Travis Etienne in the pecking order. Kamara could still have value as a third-down back, but he is likely a flex option or RB3 regardless of where he plays.

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson did not participate in seven-on-seven drills during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28. The Saints plan to have him more involved in upcoming workouts with the hope that he is a full participant when training camp begins.
Huddle Up: Tyson dealt with hamstring injuries during his college career, so the team is easing him into practice this offseason. He will likely be one of the starting receivers for the Saints this upcoming season if healthy and can be at least a No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.
