Greg Olsen Has A Bad Matchup In Week 8

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen had a down game in Week 7 and could be on track for another poor performance in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are allowing an average of just 5.1 fantasy points per game to the tight end position. On top of that, Olsen doesn't get an overwhelming amount of volume. He has just 22 targets on the year, which is fifth on the team, and it's less than half of what wide receivers Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalfhave seen. If Olsen can get into the end zone, he could be worth the lineup spot, but that is far from a guarantee. He's in the TE2 conversation this week.

Greg Olsen A Touchdown-Dependent TE2

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen has been in TE2 territory in each week, and nothing much should change in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals. Olsen is a solid red-zone threat every week, but he's a touchdown-dependent TE2 who hasn't scored since the season-opener against the Falcons. Outside of Week 1 against San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, the Cardinals have faced a relatively light schedule of tight ends. As the season has gone on, Olsen has developed his connection with quarterback Russell Wilson, but he caught his only target for 20 yards in the Week 5 win over Minnesota before the bye. He'll need to find the end zone again to reward his fantasy managers that take a chance on him.

Greg Olsen Has Some Upside In Week 4

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen was a decent option in Week 3, and in Week 4 he has some fantasy potential again. There have been numerous injuries to top options at the position, and that's pushing him further up the ranks in fantasy as a sleeper tight end. The Miami Dolphins are stronger at cornerback than they are at linebacker or safety, and quarterback Russell Wilson has been looking for Olsen more as they continue to build their chemistry. This week, he'll likely be a low-end option for fantasy managers in 12-team leagues, but he's a pretty safe start in leagues that are any deeper or have a premium on tight ends.

Greg Olsen Should Be Faded In Week 1

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen has potential to be a very valuable piece this season. This team has traditionally utilized the tight end position heavily, but that doesn't mean you should rely on him right away. The Atlanta Falcons were in the middle of the pack last year in defending tight ends, but that was with injuries on the back end. They have a good safety duo and it's also unclear how much Seattle will be using Olsen compared to the other tight ends. This early in the season, there are plenty of other options that you can count on, but Olsen could begin to present more value as the year goes on.

Greg Olsen Could Have Sneaky Fantasy Value In 2020

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen dealt with a number of injuries over the past three seasons, all spent with the Carolina Panthers. This year, he's healthy to start the year and could be ready for a fresh start catching passes from elite quarterback Russell Wilson. Olsen caught 52 passes for 597 yards in the 14 games he played last year, proving he still has something left in the tank. Wilson loves to utilize his tight ends and Olsen will be the team's primary pass-catching tight end to start the year. In deep leagues, he's worth targeting as a late round flyer. He has decent touchdown upside and should see a steady amount of targets as well.
