Summary

Tight End Rank: #6All Players: #64

Olsen had a career season with the Panthers last year, serving as their No. 2 target in the passing game. He had career highs in receptions and yards, catching 69 passes for 843 yards and five touchdowns. His previous career high in yards was 612, so he bested that number by a lot. Olsen had eight games of 16 games with 50 or more yards, posting very consistent numbers. Olsen has more than 500 yards four of six seasons in the NFL. He also has at least 39 receptions every season. Olsen is a good athlete at the tight end spot. He has top speed and very good hands, making him a surprising big-play option at tight end. He is just a so-so blocker, though, which causes him to miss out on some playing time.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Olsen emerged as a legit No. 1 fantasy tight end last season. He might have a hard time matching those numbers but can come close in an offense that likes to use the tight end. Olsen can get 65 receptions for 750 yards and six or so touchdowns. He is a good guy to grab after all the top tight ends go early in the draft. He has plenty of big-game potential in this offense.
