Doesnt matter. Cam is trash. Idk what I was thinking even touching anyone from this team. I never draft TEs early but thought this year Id try something new bc i dont care about fantasy anymore and of course this happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marty Funkhouser 1,202 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I don't even care from a fantasy perspective. This injury is the equivalent of a dead squirrel getting run over for the fifth time on the Atlantic City Expressway for my teams but Olsen is a legitimately good guy and he's been incredibly durable. These will be the first games he's missed since his rookie season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PackerBacker555 943 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 It looks like 6-8 weeks Panthers tight end Greg Olsen is seeing a foot specialist today, to see how long he’ll be out with his broken foot. The only silver lining is that they think he’ll be back. Via Jourdan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer, the injury is expected to keep Olsen out somewhere in the six-to-eight-week range. That makes going on injured reserve a possibility, which would allow him to return to practice after six weeks and the active roster two weeks later. “You’re tormented when something like that happens,” Panthers quarterback Cam Newtonafter the game. “The optimism is, we’re still going to have him at some point this year.” Getting Olsen back will obviously be big if they’re able to hang on without him. They’re 2-0 but lack offensive polish at the moment, and losing their best pass-catcher for a couple of months will obviously complicate things. It’s also costly for Olsen personally, after the Panthers added $2 million in incentives to his contract after some difficulties this summer. Share this: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blazehound 155 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Anyone holding on or drop city for this guy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
omnom1337 687 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think the "drop or bench" discussion just comes down to bench size and alternate options. We know how awful the TE position has been outside of Gronk and Kelce. Just gotta check waivers and pray that the guy you get is the best filler. I'm holding in my league with a 7-person bench, but if I had him in my league with only a 4-person bench, I think I'd have to drop him, especially with bye weeks starting soon. It really will be a crap shoot, what with guys like Jesse James, Fleener, or other hot garbage sitting out there right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KennyWoo 3,323 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Brutal, brutal luck because if he goes on IR he's eligible to play in Week 11 but Carolina has a bye that week. So if he's on IR he won't even miss his bye. Yes, if he goes on IR he's droppable if you need the spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PackerBacker555 943 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Greg Olsen had surgery this morning, Panthers unsure whether to put him on IR Posted by Michael David Smith on September 18, 2017, 11:56 AM EDT Getty Images Panthers tight end Greg Olsen had surgery to repair a broken foot this morning, and now the team is evaluating what to do with his roster spot. According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, Olsen’s surgery had no complications. If the Panthers put him on injured reserve, that means he’ll miss at least eight weeks. Given that Olsen’s injury is expected to take 6-8 weeks to heal, it would make sense to put him on injured reserve and bring him back when he’s ready to go. The 32-year-old Olsen hasn’t missed a game since he missed two during his rookie year with the Bears in 2007. Now he’s set to miss half the season, a costly blow for the Panthers.

Marty Funkhouser 1,202 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Gerald Everett is the route I'm going. Developing quarterback, a slowly improving offense, and he's made the most of the few opportunities he's had so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

InVINCEable 130 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Droppable at this point? Is anyone going to stick him on the bench for 8 weeks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog 484 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) A Jones fracture is one of the toughest injuries to come back from in football. He's a drop imo, doubtful he'said back 100% until next season. Edited September 19, 2017 by Red Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raltherr 319 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 This puts him out until week 11 which is the Panthers bye week. So best case is week 12. I just can't see holding a TE on the bench until fantasy playoff time. I'll be dropping in redraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
munygon2 395 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Wouldn't he most likely practice 2 weeks (minimum) before playing after coming off IR? How often do we see a guy return immediately to the field once his IR status is up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All comes down to league bench size and your team's needs. If you've got a solid starting lineup with some serviceable bye week fillers, it's fine. I'm keeping him in a 12-team league, 7 bench slots no IR. This is the same league in which I'm rostering Josh Gordon. There is no "yes or no" that fits everyone. Drop him if you need an immediate filler or keep him if you've got space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't fault anyone that did, but if you have an IR spot, why not stash Olsen. If he doesn't recover as fast as expected or the IR spot is needed for someone else with a better prognosis/keeper potential, then drop him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PackerBacker555 943 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thinking of adding for the playoff hall before he gets taken by someone else. I have a deep bench already, only thing is, will he be back at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
