Tight End Rank: #6
Overall: #74
Olsen became a bigger part of the Bears offense his second season in the league. He about doubled his stats from his rookie season, catching 54 passes for 574 yards. He had three games with 50-plus yards and scored touchdowns in three of his last four games of the season. Olsen should continue to grow in the Bears offense and become an integral part of their passing attack. Olsen is a great athlete at the tight end spot. He has top speed and very good hands, making him a surprising big-play option at tight end.

Olsen has even more potential this season with Jay Cuter as his quarterback. Consider him a top-10 tight end. You have to like his chances for around 800 yards and six scores. The Bears need playmakers in the passing game and Olsen fits the bill. |

| Mike Mulligan, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears TE Greg Olsen seems to have established himself as a favorite target of QB Jay Cutler and the top secondary option. Olsen is going to have a key role and will catch a ton of passes this season. ''He's a very good receiver, but he's a good tight end, too,' offensive coordinator Ron Turner said of Olsen. 'Greg has worked hard on his blocking. But he can be a receiver, too, no question about it. We're seeing the evolution of Greg in his third year.' |
| Fantasy Impact: Olsen seems setup for a breakout season with Cutler throwing him passes. |
