Busts on the New Orleans Saints

Reasons WR Chris Olave Could Be a Bust

  • Meng Song: Olave has suffered four concussions since entering the NFL. Maybe he can get past it, but there are better options in the sixth round.
  • Andy Hicks: It is hard to overlook the repeated concussions for the highly talented receiver. With a rookie quarterback, he is going to get hit. I need to see him remain fit. 
  • Hutchinson Brown: Four concussions for Olave since entering the league. Too many good options on the board for me in the 5/6th round of fantasy drafts to be picking him.
  • Jeff Bell: Solely based on injury concerns, and almost all of this offense being priced below bust status. 
  • Craig Lakins: I don't believe his current ADP is too high. He's just not someone I'm drafting at all. There are obvious questions around his quarterback situation, but it's his concussion history that scares me away.
