CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Greg Olsen was finally able to brush off his foot injury last week, and he exploded against the Packers for 9 catches, 116 yards, and a touchdown. Olsen has long been one of the most consistent fantasy options in the league at the tight end position, so as long as he’s healthy, he should be counted on.

This week, he’ll face a Bucs team that has actually been pretty good against tight ends this year, allowing only 3 touchdowns to the position this year. If Olsen really is back though, he’s matchup-proof and should be heavily targeted in the Carolina offense. Fantasy owners should start him this week.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Green Bay Packers

Greg Olsen has struggled to be productive and to stay on the field since coming back a few weeks ago from a broken foot. He’s supposed to be healthy this week, however, and the Panthers are going to need him against a Packers team expecting Aaron Rodgers to return to action.

Olsen has long been one of the most reliable fantasy tight ends. While he has a tough matchup against a Packers defense allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year, he has always been matchup-proof in the past. Fantasy owners with a steady option available might take a wait-and-see approach with Olsen, but for owners who are looking at streaming options, Olsen might be worth the risk.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Greg Olsen is supposed to be back in action this week, but it’s hard to trust him after he’s had foot issues the past two weeks, after missing eight games with a broken foot. Olsen has potential, regardless of a tough matchup, because of his steady production over the past several years. However, until we see he’s fully healthy and can finish a game, it’s hard to trust him and fantasy owners should look elsewhere if possible. He remains a nice stash option, though, in case he shows something this week.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New Orleans Saints

Greg Olsen only caught 1 ball last week for 10 yards before leaving with foot soreness. While it’s possible this was just a precautionary measure after the former Pro Bowler missed eight games with a broken foot, it’s a concerning sign for fantasy owners. If he’s active this week, he has upside as such a steady performer over his career. However, it’s too risky to trust him right now without knowing he’ll stay active for the entire game. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere if possible.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at New York Jets

Greg Olsen has been out since Week 2 with a foot injury, but he was removed from injured reserve on Monday, and he’s expected to be active this week against the Jets. Olsen has been one of the most consistent fantasy options at the tight end position over the past few years, with over 1,000 yards in each of the past three seasons. If you stuck it out with him all year on your roster, or if you got him off waivers ahead of time, he should make it worth your while.

This week, Olsen has a nice matchup against a Jets defense that has allowed 6 touchdowns and the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the tight end position this year. Expect quarterback Cam Newton to look to his trusty tight end early and often, and for a nice comeback game from the veteran.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Buffalo Bills

Greg Olsen only caught 2 passes on 4 targets for 18 yards against the 49ers last week, as the Panthers ran the ball 38 times in a lopsided victory. Olsen should snap back to his consistent numbers moving forward, and it’s too early to panic with the elite veteran.

This week, Olsen will face a Bills defense that shut down the Jets offense last week, but did allow 5 catches and 59 yards to the tight end combination of Will Tye and Eric Tomlinson. Olsen is light years better than either of those players and should be active in all league formats.

CAR TE Greg Olsen - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at San Francisco 49ers

Greg Olsen is coming off his third straight 1,000+ yard season and he remains one of the most consistent fantasy options in the league. Even at age 32, Olsen is a reliable target for Cam Newton, having started all 16 games since his second year in the league.

This week, Olsen should thrive against the 49ers, who ranked dead last in scoring defense a year ago. They also gave up 12.1 fantasy points to the tight end position per game. Olsen is a must-start every week regardless of matchup and this should be a good opener for him.
