Chris Olave (hamstring) out for Saints Week 16
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) is out for Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.
What It Means:
The Saints ruled Olave out after the rookie missed practice all week. Jarvis Landry (ankle) has also been ruled out, so the Saints will be thin at wideout this week. Marquez Callaway, Rashid Shaheed, and Tre'Quan Smith will likely be the primary wide receivers. Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill should also be more involved on offense.
The Browns have the No. 12 pass defense and No. 26 run defense in numberFire's adjusted team rankings, so the Saints may try to run the ball as much as possible and limit the passing volume. Per our NFL Heat Map, the Saints have the second-lowest implied total (15.0) on the Main slate and the game has the lowest over/under (32.5).
