After offensive explosions in the first two weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the New Orleans Saints experienced a setback with a Week 3 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, quarterback Derek Carr and the Saints’ offense showcased their potential as a powerful unit, effectively moving the ball at will.
However, they struggled against the Philadelphia defense, managing little beyond rush attempts and short passes to Alvin Kamara.
Wide receiver Chris Olave emerged as the Saints’ primary receiving threat after a slow season start but was added to the Week 4 injury report due to a hamstring injury during practice.
Injuries late in the week typically raise concerns, and Olave is currently listed as questionable to play.
Nevertheless, reports suggest he may still participate against the Atlanta Falcons. According to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Footbal, “Chris Olave will travel with the Saints to Atlanta and still has a real chance to play on Sunday.”

This is excellent news for the Saints and Olave, as they’ll face the Falcons in a crucial NFC South matchup that could impact playoff standings later on.
Derek Carr and Chris Olave have been developing their chemistry this season, and their connection plays a significant role in the team’s passing game and overall offense.
