Around the NFL: Week 13 concussions
It’s still early in the week, with teams having two days of practice left. But I expect Chris Olave will be in uniform for the Saints on Sunday. I think he’ll make it through the concussion protocol. more »

Factoid: Sophomore Slump? (Wide receivers)
Yesterday I ran an item discussing the likelihood of a "sophomore slump" when it came to rookie running backs. I said I'd look at the history for wide receivers, as well, and here's that information. more »

Factoid: Chris Olave
I am interested in Chris Olave, so it caught my eye last week when New Orleans coach Dennis Allen said he *thinks* Michael Thomas will be healthy for training camp. If Thomas is or isn’t playing, that will affect how often the Saints are going to their other Ohio State receiver. more »

Factoid: Decoy receivers
Marquez Valdes-Scantling had puzzling a Super Bowl. He was on the field for almost two thirds of Kansas City’s plays. He was a starter-type guy in a 38-35 shootout. Yet he had only one pass thrown his way (an incompletion). more »

Factoid: Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Jaxon Smith-Njigba will be one of the first wide receivers selected in the NFL Draft later this month, and considering the way the last two Ohio State wide receivers (Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave) performed as rookies, there's some extra enthusiasm for him. Might Smith-Njigba be even better? more »

Factoid: Rashid Shaheed
I’m intrigued by Rashid Shaheed of the Saints. He put together a heck of a rookie season – better, I found out, than I even realized. more »

Saints lose two wideouts vs. Browns
The New Orleans Saints will have a thin wideout corps for Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Browns. The Saints have ruled out rookie wide receiver CHRIS OLAVE after he did not… More practice all week due to a hamstring issue. Veteran wide receiver JARVIS LANDRY also won’t play after going on the practice report Wednesday with an ankle injury and missing practice again on Thursday. Landry is reportedly headed for injured reserve, which will mean his 2022 season comes to an end. Less

Factoid: Rookie receivers
I think we should all be drafting rookie receivers a little earlier. There’s risk involved, and I see plenty of slow starters, but I also see a bunch of them outperforming where there were chosen. more »

Saints WR Olave remains in concussion protocol
New Orleans rookie wide receiver CHRIS OLAVE suffered a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks and remains in the concussion protocol as of Monday. Head… More coach Dennis Allen confirmed that Olave is in the concussion protocol but he added that his rookie wideout “felt pretty good”. As one would expect, Allen also said that the team would follow the protocol and the Saints would not put Olave on the field until he’s cleared by doctors. Less

Saints QB Winston, WR Thomas still hobbled by injuries
New Orleans Saints quarterback JAMEIS WINSTON continues to deal with back and hip issues, while wide receiver MICHAEL THOMAS is dealing with what has been reported as a foot/toe injury. Neither… More player practiced on Wednesday leading up to the Saints Week #5 game against the Seattle Seahawks. If Winston can’t play against the Seahawks, veteran backup ANDY DALTON will start at quarterback again. Meanwhile, rookie wideout CHRIS OLAVE could again benefit from adding playing time if Thomas remains out or limited. Less

Factoid: Rookie receivers
The rookie receivers didn’t light up the boxscores in the preseason, but that’s OK. That’s just how it goes nowadays. And if form holds, probably a couple of these first-year receivers are going to be very good. more »

Factoid: Treylon Burks
What can be expected from Treylon Burks (and other first-round rookie wideouts)? Six were selected in the top 20 picks back in April, and most joined teams where there's the potential to be early starters. Actually putting up strong numbers right away in fantasy leagues, though, is a hit-or-miss kind of deal. more »

Factoid: Rookie receivers
Camps are opening, and it will be interesting to get eyes on some of these rookie receivers. There are no can’t-miss type prospects, but with the volume that were selected (including six with top-20 picks) there should be at least some value in there somewhere. more »
