Tight end Greg Olsen won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers because of a foot injury.

Related players: Chris Manhertz, Ian Thomas

Olsen injured his right foot early in the second quarter - the same foot that sidelined him earlier this season and much of last season. Right after a snap, Olsen pulled up without making any contact with another player and hobbled toward the Panthers sideline before going to the ground. He was carted off the field soon after and ruled out for the rest of the game very soon after.

Manhertz and Thomas will handle TE duties at least for the remainder of this game. Thomas of course took over for Olsen when he was out with a foot injury earlier this season but was unimpressive in terms of fantasy production.

Cobb was limited all week but won't go on Sunday night. St. Brown should continue to seem more playing time with Cobb out.

Equanimeous St. Brown steps in as Green Bay’s WR3. He posted 3-89 on five targets against the Lions with both Geronimo Allison and Cobb out (on 74% of the snaps). Expect that sort of workload this week.

Marquez Valdez-Scantling should step back into a high upside situation for the Packers against the Patriots in a game with the second highest implied total of Week 9. In Weeks 5 and 6 with Allison out, MVS posted lines of 7-68-1 and 3-103 on 16 total targets. He could again be heavily targeted with Adams expected to get shadow coverage from Patriots lock down corner Stephon Gilmore. Over the last five weeks, Gilmore has allowed just eight catches on 25 targets for 96 yards.

Allison is set to return as a borderline WR2 after missing three games. Prior to going down, he was averaging 15 PPR PPG through the first month of the season. We see no reason for him to take a significant step back and have him as a mid-range WR3 for the rest of the season. It's been a month since Cobb last played, but even before getting hurt, he had been largely ineffective outside of a fantastic Week 1.

As reported earlier, Allison and Cobb won't play against the 49ers meaning Valdes-Scantling becomes an interesting play for those in need. St. Brown could also be in the mix.
