SUMMARY
Tight End Rank: #6   
Overall: #73


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.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
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.
Neil Hayes, of Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears will listen to offers for TE Greg Olsen even though general manager Jerry Angelo has insisted he is not shopping Olsen.
Fantasy Impact: It would do Olsen some good to get out of Chicago. Their new offense seldom uses the tight end.

Sean Jensen, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports Chicago Bears TE Greg Olsen is not on the trading block, according to a source. The source said offensive coordinator Mike Martz is still trying to determine how he will use Olsen.

Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears TE Greg Olsen struggled this season with his blocking after he replaced TE Desmond Clark in the starting lineup, according to multiple scouts who watched the Bears regularly.
Fantasy Impact: Not his strong suit, which is a big concern going forward with Mike Martz calling plays. He could get a lot fewer chances this coming season.

Dan Pompei, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears TE Greg Olsen has been the focal point for several opposing defenses this season. Olsen has been covered by a cornerback or safety during games and has been jammed at times at the line of scrimmage.

Dan Pompei, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears TE Greg Olsen is averaging 3.1 receptions and 29.1 yards a game this season and is on pace to have fewer catches and yards that last season.
Fantasy Impact: Most expected the exact opposite this season, but Olsen has been a bit of a bust. He has been scoring some touchdowns of late, though, which is a positive.
