Greg Olsen injury update: How to handle Panthers TE vs. Saints
Will Greg Olsen play after having a minor setback with his foot?
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports
The Carolina Panthers are officially listing Greg Olsen as questionable versus the New Orleans Saints in 13.
Olsen is dealing with foot soreness that sidelined him early in Carolina’s Week 12 win over the New York Jets. It was the same foot Olsen previously injured and landed on injured reserve because of.
But Olsen is off injured reserve after being designated to return last week. He finished with just one catch for 10 yards. It is hard to see him being a major factor in Carolina for at least a few more weeks as he works his way back.
If Olsen were to miss time again, Ed Dickson would go back to being a relevant fantasy option.
Fantasy Impact: If Olsen plays this Sunday, he would face a Saints defense allowing the second-fewest catches to tight ends this season. Even if Olsen is active, keep him on the bench this week.
