  • Greg Olsen Lands On Injured Reserve

    The Seattle Seahawks placed tight end Greg Olsen (foot) on Injured Reserve on Monday. The 35-year-old veteran suffered a ruptured plantar fascia in his foot in the Thursday night win over the Cardinals, most likely ending his season and possibly his career. Olsen has been in the league for 14 years and considered retirement previously after dealing with foot injuries while at the end of his tenure with the Panthers. He wasn't very fantasy relevant in 10 games this year with Seattle, catching 23 of his 35 targets for 224 yards and one touchdown. With Olsen out for most likely the rest of the year, Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister should split pass-catching duties at tight end, making it hard to predict which player will be more productive on a weekly basis.

  • Greg Olsen Leaves Early, Team Fears Season-Ending Injury

    Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen (foot) was hoping for a good performance in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday, but his night was ultimately cut short due to an injury. The Seahawks fear that Olsen ruptured the fascia in his left foot. He caught both of his targets for 20 yards on the evening, but that wasn't enough to save his early exit. Olsen has been largely underwhelming since joining the Seahawks this season, and the team fears that his year might be done with this injury. If that's the case, one of Will Dissly or Jacob Hollister would see a big uptick in value as the new starting tight end in this offense.

  • 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.
