Greg Olsen Week 2 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 17th 2020, 9:26am EDT

Well, we got our answer about who leads this timeshare in Week 1. Olsen not only doubled Dissly's targets (4 to 2), but he out-snapped him (41 to 25) as well. It'll take time for Dissly to get back to speed, and it was good to see Olsen have rapport with Olsen immediately, catching all four targets for 24 yards and a touchdown. It's still a timeshare so we can't get too excited. The Patriots were the seventh-best team at defending tight ends last year, allowing just three tight ends to top 44 yards. Those tight ends were Zach Ertz, Travis Kelce, and Dawson Knox. It was touchdown or bust for every tight end not named Ertz or Kelce, because outside of them, no tight end who failed to score finished top-18 against them. With the exit of Patrick Chung this season, they could be more susceptible to big performances, though Mike Gesicki just finished with 30 yards on five targets. Olsen is the preferred option but it's hard to say he's more than a middling TE2 who would need to score.
