Fantasy Profile: Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers
Just like a fine wine, Greg Olsen just gets better with age. Even with the surging talent Kelvin Benjamin amassing more looks for the Panthers, Olsen still ended the season with more targets, receptions, and yards (122/84/1,008) than he has in his entire career. Breaking down last season, Olsen gave standard format owners eight games with 10+ points, and disappointed in four contests with less than five points. Although those four games are heartbreakers, let me put it in perspective.Highly sought after tight end Jimmy Graham also flunked below the five point marker in four games and left zeroes two of those four times.
Greg Olsen is the best bang for your buck in this category and a definite sleeper to target on draft day. If the big names get drafted early, make sure you can still snatch Olsen.
