The Saints injury report for Week 6 reveals concerns for fantasy football managers after Chris Olave's illness leaves his status uncertain. Olave, who returned to practice Friday, is listed as questionable and could play in the game against the New York Giants. If he is unable to play, Devaughn Vele emerges as the top waiver pickup, having already established himself as the Saints' primary wide receiver.
Germie Bernard and Tre Tucker provide additional options for managers looking beyond Olave, with Tucker offering the best potential for big-play plays. Quarterback Tyler Shough also practices fully, while linebacker Kaden Elliss and defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd are out with injuries. The Saints' defense will likely lean more heavily on their passing game if Olave sits out.
Managers should closely monitor Sunday morning reports for any updates on the injured players' status before making final waiver decisions.
