Death, taxes, the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and Greg Olsen finishing with 38 targets in an injury-shortened season due to a foot issue. These are things we all can count on. Of course, the part about 38 targets is just a joke - but it is a little odd that Olsen hit the 38-target mark for the second season in a row.
In terms of fantasy production, Olsen was about as good as it got prior to his foot issues in 2017 and 2018, with five consecutive seasons of 16-games played and 100-plus targets. Although he has yet to post a double-digit touchdown season in his storied NFL career, Olsen is one of Cam Newton's favorite targets and is always near the top of the leaderboard among catches at the tight end position.
At age 34 Olsen is no spring chicken, and he does not have the same burst that made him a first-round pick by the Bears back in 2007. But at a position like tight end, where options get pretty slim outside the top three, Olsen could be a nice late round flier who could be a top-10 tight end in 2019.

 Greg Olsen misses practice Thursday
Concussion

FFToday's Take: Olsen is dealing with a concussion suffered last week and appears to be headed for the inactive list this Sunday. That would lead to Ian Thomas getting the starting nod at tight end for the Panthers against the Falcons.
