News: 9 hours agoInterim coach Darren Rizzi said Friday that Olave (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Falcons, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Spin: Rizzi also told Hendrix that a stint on injured reserve is "on the table" for Olave as the wide receiver meets with specialists to determine the best course of action after he suffered a concussion this past Sunday at Carolina that resulted in a visit to the hospital. The Saints have a Week 12 bye on the schedule, so it likely would behoove them to make an IR decision this week with the four-game caveat in mind. With Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) also ruled out for Week 10, Mason Tipton, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Jermaine Jackson are the healthy wide receivers on the Saints' active roster.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Olave is entering his third NFL season after posting a pair of top-25 fantasy campaigns in his his first two campaigns. The 24 year old saw a boost in targets, receptions, yardage and touchdowns in his second season, finishing top 20 among receivers in all but the latter category. The Saints didn't add any significant target competition for Olave, which means he's a near lock to continue handling a massive workload. More usage near the goal line would get Olave to the next level (14 career end zone targets), but he's a good bet for another 80-catch, 1,000-plus yard season and thus makes for a fringe WR1.
