Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is officially active for the team's match against the New York Giants. The Panthers had a scare when Olsen suffered a knee injury in Week 14, but a precautionary MRI on Monday confirmed the extent of his injury was minor. Olsen returned to practice on Thursday and will be a "full go" on the field, according to ESPN's Britt McHenry.

Fantasy impact: Olsen’s knee should not be a concern for fantasy owners. At this point, it’s more of a concern that the Panthers become over cautious with their players over the next few weeks as they continue their undefeated season. Coach Ron Rivera isn’t sure whether or not he’ll rest players down the stretch, so fantasy owners should continue to monitor updates as they get deeper into fantasy playoffs. In the meantime, Olsen will remain a top tight end. The Giants are among the top teams in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends.
