Greg Olsen (elbow) expected to play for Panthers

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (elbow) was officially "DNP" on Thursday, but the Charlotte Observer "fully expects" him to play against the Atlanta Falcons.

What It Means:

The Panthers are coming off the Monday night game and play again on Saturday afternoon, so they are just letting Olsen rest up a bit.

Olsen is numberFire's 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.
