Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen will sign a two-year extension Thursday, April 26, worth $8.55 million per season with a maximum value of up to $10.05 million per year. He could become the highest-paid tight end in the league.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen is a good PPR tight end. However, he's 33, coming off an injury-riddled year and doesn't catch a high number of touchdowns. He'll be an upper-middle TE1 in fantasy.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) said his injured foot is completely healed and that his focus this offseason is securing a contract extension before the regular season begins. If an extension is not achieved then Olsen said broadcasting for Monday Night Football would be a viable option.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen is one of the best tight ends in the NFL when he's 100%. Before missing seven games last year, he had averaged 1,061.6 yards and 5.3 touchdowns in the previous three years. Assuming he plays, he should be one of the first three to five tight ends drafted.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) will not need any more surgery on his foot and is looking forward to working with new offensive coordinator Norv Turner.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen was limited to seven regular season games because of his foot injury and posted only 191 yards and one touchdown during those games. He played better in the playoff game and should be ready for the 2018 season. He can be considered a No. 1 tight end in all fantasy leagues.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen posted eight receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in the NFC Wild Card Game on Sunday, Jan. 7, against the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen missed the last game down in the Big Easy, as he was just getting over a foot injury and the team didn't want to risk him on the artificial surface. He was back, and had a strong game, showing he has plenty left in the tank. The tight end's three-year streak of 1,000 receiving yards came to an end because of his lengthy injury, but he remains a legit TE1 in fantasy heading into 2018.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 29, and is not on the injury report for Week 17.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen has had only one big week since returning to the lineup and has been held to 27 yards or less in five of his six games this season. He is still one of the better tight ends when healthy and could be a low-end No. 1 fantasy tight end this week.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen finished with three receptions and 27 yards on six targets in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen rewarded his fantasy owners in Week 15 with a big game, but he left everyone down in the championship game in a lot of leagues. It was a trying season for Olsen, as a serious foot injury snapped his string of three straight 1,000-yard seasons.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen finished with nine receptions, 116 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen had been rather limited due to his foot injury, and he aggravated it against the Jets a few weeks ago. However, he looked like he is finally back to 100 percent and he faces another favorable matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 16.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) practiced in full Friday, Dec. 15, and he was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 15 game against the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen hasn't done much since his return, and he once aggravated his injury and missed another game. He'll be on a more giving natural surface this week, so he could thrive, but there is some risk involved for fantasy owners.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) was able to practice in full on Wednesday, Dec. 13.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen sounds like he'll be healthy enough to go, but he remains a risky fantasy play. He returned in Week 12 and had just one catch for 10 yards before aggravating his injury, he was inactive in Week 13 and he was blanked last week against Minnesota. Use him at your own risk in Week 15.

Fantasy Tip: There is always a chance Olsen's foot injury could flare up during the game, but he is one of the top tight ends when healthy and can be used as a midrange TE1 against Minnesota.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen was held out last week as the Panthers opted not to push his foot injury on the artificial surface of the Superdome with the first of three straight home games on natural grass beginning this weekend. Olsen is going to be a risky option to a difficult matchup and the likelihood he could suffer an in-game setback, but with Devin Funchess drawing shadow coverage from Xavier Rhodes and the lack of good fantasy options at tight end, most owners likely have to start him and hope for the best.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) will not be on a "pitch count" against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14, according to head coach Ron Rivera.

Fantasy Tip: Olson had a snap restriction in Week 12, though that didn't much matter since he aggravated the injury. His return should be a big boost for the offense, even if a tough matchup with the Vikings dampens his fantasy outlook. It'd be tempting to roll him out there this Sunday despite the potential downside.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 6.

Fantasy Tip: There were reports Carolina did not want to push Olsen in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints because the Superdome isn't a natural grass field, and this news would seem to suggest it played a role in the team's thinking. With three straight games at home beginning this week, Olsen should be in good shape in that regard as long as his foot can hold up. He's not a recommended play in fantasy this week, however, as the Minnesota Vikings are playing very good defense of late.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) is expected to sit out Week 13's game against the New Orleans Saints, although the injury is not believed to be a long-term issue, according to multiple sources.

Fantasy Tip: X-rays taken several days ago on Olsen's foot came back negative and he was able to practice on a limited basis but he is still experiencing soreness. One factor that may cause the Panthers to deactivate Olsen is the fact that this game will be played on artificial turf but the following three contests will be on natural grass surfaces. Ed Dickson is expected to get the starting nod this afternoon and should be viewed as a midrange TE2 in most fantasy formats.

Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) is listed as questionable to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 13, but head coach Ron Rivera said he is optimistic that Olsen will be able to play.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen returned from an eight-game absence last week, only to aggravate the injury. Even if he does suit up, the chance he won't be able to play the entire game makes him a risky start.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen returned from a lengthy absence last week, but aggravated his foot injury on the artificial surface at MetLife Stadium against the Jets. Unfortunately for Olsen, the Saints also play on an artificial surface, so he is a very risky fantasy play this week.

Fantasy Tip: It looks like Olsen will be able to take the field this week, but he could be on a snap count again if the Panthers don't want to risk him re-aggravating the foot. As of now, Olsen is a borderline TE1.

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers TE Greg Olsen (foot) was pulled in the third quarter of the Week 12 game against the New York Jets after experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired right foot. The artificial surface at Met Life Stadium might have played a part in the soreness. "It got a little sore there. Went back out, tried to play a little bit and then we just thought it'd be best to live to play another day," Olsen said Sunday, Nov. 26.

Fantasy Tip: Unfortunately for Olsen and his fantasy owners the Panthers will be on another artificial surface in Week 13 in New Orleans before three straight home outings on grass from Week 14 through Week 16.

Fantasy Tip: It is not known if Olsen's injury is related to the one that sent him to the Reserve/Injured list, so owners should look for an update on his status. Olsen is a must-start option when he is healthy, but owners will need other options available in case this injury keep him sidelined for an extended period of time.

Fantasy Tip: Olsen likely will be eased back into the passing game since he has missed most of the season because of a foot injury. Owners may need to lower expectations this week, but Olsen should still be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
