The 2-9 New Orleans Saints head to Miami to take on the 4-7 Dolphins at 5.5-point underdogs. The Saints will be without Alvin Kamara, while their top receiver, Chris Olave, is questionable with back spasms. The Dolphins make for a strong fantasy matchup, so whoever is next in line should make for a useful start.

Olave was limited in practice on Wednesday due to back spasms and then was unable to practice on Thursday. He did return Friday for a limited practice and was listed as questionable.

Olave is a must start whenever he suits up and this week would be no different. If he can’t go due to his back, Juwan Johnson would be the most likely target leader, while Devaughn Vele would see a boost as the likely top wide receiver.

The matchup against the Dolphins is good enough to take a flier on Vele if Olave is out, while Johnson makes for a decent fantasy start even if Olave plays.
