Panthers TE Greg Olsen on crutches, in walking boot

Sep 09, 2018

Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen suffered a foot injury in the first quarter of Sunday's opener against Dallas and was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Olsen suffered a broken right foot in Week 2 against Buffalo a year ago and missed nine games after having surgery. He returned for the final five regular-season games and playoff loss to New Orleans.

Fantasy Impact:

Olsen returned to the sideline in the second half on crutches with a walking boot on his right foot, the same one he injured a year ago. This obviously doesn't look good. The team is high on Thomas, as we reported earlier this summer, but obviously he's a rookie. He showed promise in camp but didn't get a lot of catches when at Indiana University.

Cowboys "moving away" from RBBC, declaring Rico Dowdle No. 1 RB

Mike McCarthy moving away from running back by committee concept, declaring Rico Dowdle the No. 1 RB. “Rico needs to touch the ball,” he said.

Related Players: Ezekiel Elliott, Deuce Vaughn, Dalvin Cook, Hunter Luepke

Fantasy Impact:

This is great and all, but the Cooper Rush-led offense looked beyond miserable last week, and it's hard to see how it's going to get much better moving forward. Consider Dowdle a high-floor/low-ceiling RB3 in Week 11.

WR Jonathan Mingo set to make Cowboys debut in Week 11

Jonathan Mingo is expected to make his debut for the Cowboys this week, per MM.

Mingo was inactive last week following the trade to allow time for ramping up.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks

Fantasy Impact:

We wouldn't expect a ton of action from Mingo fantasy-wise, but it's not as if he has a murderer's row of talent standing between himself and a WR2 role. He can be left on waiver wires in most every format, but might be worth checking to see if he ended up on waiver wires in Dynasty leagues.
