Carolina gets starting TE back in Week 12
The comeback plan for Greg Olsen on Sunday involves a measured dose of work.
“We’re going to try to do it judiciously,” Rivera said. “We’ve got to save him from himself and save him from us. You get a guy like that, you want to keep him out there as much as you can. But just knowing his conditioning and football shape isn’t where it needs to be right now. … You don’t want to throw Greg out there and have him go 60 plays. So we really have to be smart.” (NFL.com)
Nerdy Football Analysis: It makes sense to limit Olsen’s snaps in his first action since Week 2. Even if he’s limited he’s still a viable fantasy option given the lack of options at the position. He has low-end TE1 appeal given his TD upside.
