CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 – Greg Olsen vs. Tampa Bay

Greg Olsen had another nice outing for the Panthers last week. He was targeted a team high 11 times and caught 10 passes for 72 yards and a touchdown. The Carolina offense looked to be firing on all cylinders last week as they demolished the Saints, and it was good to see Olsen putting up big numbers again.

This week, Olsen faces a below average Bucs defense that has actually been decent against the tight end position. However, Olsen had 83 yards and a touchdown against Tampa Bay in Week 1 of the season, and he’s averaged 57.4 yards and 0.4 touchdowns against the Bucs over the past two years. Olsen should be active as a TE1 in all leagues.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 – Greg Olsen vs. New Orleans

Greg Olsen had five catches for 56 yards last week against the Vikings last week and was targeted eight times. He continues to be a key component on the Panthers offense, even though that offense has struggled for much of the season.

This week, Olsen has an excellent matchup against the struggling Saints, who rank 28th in passing yards allowed this season. He’s a must start in all league formats and remains the top tight end option outside of the elite guys. We have him as a top five start against New Orleans and fantasy owners who have been riding him all year should leave him in their lineups.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 – Greg Olsen vs. Minnesota

Greg Olsen had five catches for 61 yards against the Falcons two weeks ago and was targeted 11 times. He continues to be one of the best tight ends in football, albeit a notch below the Gronks and Grahams of the world.

This week, Olsen should be featured heavily once again, though he faces a Vikings defense that has shut down the TE position all season. Olsen is talented enough to overcome it though, and Minny may focus on Kelvin Benjamin more. Either way, Olsen should be active in all leagues week-to-week.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 – Greg Olsen vs. Atlanta

Greg Olsen continues to be productive, despite the Panthers’ offensive struggles. He finished last week with six catches on seven targets and had 119 yards. Olsen is the most consistent target Cam Newton has, and Cam uses him as a crutch.

This week, Olsen should have a great time against the abomination that is the Atlanta Falcons defense. They have looked awful this season, and have allowed 8.2 yards per pass attempt this season to opposing offenses. Only the Giants and the Bears have been worse. Olsen is a top five option and a must start in all leagues.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 10, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 – Greg Olsen vs. Philadelphia

Greg Olsen struggled along with the rest of the Panther offense last week against the Saints, and he ended up with only 30 yards on three receptions. Olsen remains an elite fantasy option however, and faces a Philadelphia pass defense this week that ranks 22nd in the league in passing yards allowed per game.

The Panthers have struggled massively on offense all season, but Olsen has still managed to put up solid numbers. The Eagles have been really good against the TE position so far this season, allowing only one touchdown and 310 yards to the position so far in 2014, but Olsen is a good enough player to rely on anyway. While he’s not challenging the Rob Gronkowski’s of the world for TE supremacy, he remains a nice fantasy option and should be active in all leagues.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 9, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 – Greg Olsen vs. New Orleans

Greg Olsen was very disappointing against the Seahawks on Sunday, putting up only 16 yards on one reception. He was only targeted three times, and this was easily his worst game of the season as the Panthers fell to Seattle.

Olsen should rebound against the Saints this week, even though the Saints have been better than anyone against the tight end position this year. They’ve allowed the second most points in the league against opposing wide receivers however, and the Panthers use Olsen so much that the Saints will have all they can handle. Olsen’s output last week was disappointing, but with how he’s been this season, he should still be considered a must start in all league formats.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 8, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 – Greg Olsen vs. Seattle

Greg Olsen put up another good stat line last week against the Packers, despite a blowout loss for Carolina. He ended up with eight receptions, catching every ball that was thrown to him, for 105 yards. Olsen is now 13th in the league, and leads all tight ends with 493 receiving yards, and he may be on his way to his first career pro bowl.

This week, Olsen faces a Seattle defense that has struggled in recent weeks, and he’ll continue to be the most reliable receiving option for quarterback Cam Newton. Seattle has given up eight touchdowns so far this season to opposing tight ends, and Olsen will look for his sixth on the season as the Panthers try to bounce back from last week’s loss. He’s a top five play and should be active in all leagues.
