Greg Olsen

Panthers not concerned about Greg Olsen (elbow)

The Carolina Panthers aren't concerned about tight end Greg Olsen's (elbow) status for Week 16, head coach Ron Rivera said.

What It Means:

Olsen sat out practice on Wednesday but we're guessing it was more of a maintenance day coming off the Monday night game. There might be some concern if Olsen is a DNP again Thursday, but all signs point to him suiting up Saturday at home against the Atlanta Falcons.

If he's good to go, Olsen is our TE1 this week in a premium matchup. The Falcons allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends, and we project Olsen for 72 receiving yards and 0.60 touchdowns on 6 receptions.
