FANTASY FOOTBALL DEEP SLEEPERS TO TARGET IN 2019

13. Greg Olsen, TE Carolina Panthers

Greg Olsen was once upon a time one of the league’s top tight ends. After a couple of injury-riddled seasons, however, Olsen is now falling deep into the late rounds of fantasy drafts.

Olsen’s ADP is currently sitting around 162 which places him in round 13 or later in fantasy drafts. This also ranks him as tight end 19. This could be way too low for Olsen, who is Cam Newton‘s favorite target when healthy.

This year especially he could be leaned on heavily by Newton. Most of the Panthers pass catchers are young and fairly inexperienced, so this is where Newton’s trust of Olsen could come into play. If healthy he could see a bunch of targets this season. I mean his last healthy season produced a 1000 yard season, his third straight.

Age and injuries are a concern with Olsen, but in round 13 this is a risk that you should be more than willing to take with Olsen’s upside.
