Greg Olsen

Week 1 - Greg Olsen was the dependable outlet for Newton all game long against a Tampa Bay defense that would not allow the big play. Olsen astutely found the soft spots in Cover-2 and consistently escaped from man coverage underneath when the Bucs mixed it up. Showing soft hands, running good routes and being a nuisance for the Bucs was his game. Olsen did not produce any explosive plays, but his impact on this offense will be felt and he could reach the top-10 TE region if he continues to see consistent targets.

Week 2 - Unlike last week when Greg Olsen was the target of underneath throws, this week the Panthers ran the football effectively and Olsen's main involvement was blocking downfield. Olsen's only reception came on a crossing pattern off a QB rollout. He is a back-up TE for all intents and purposes.

Seems like some over reaction going on here.

Newton - Newton's lone error came on a failed option pitch in the red zone which was fumbled and recovered by the Saints. It came on 4th and inches, but it took points off the board. Overall, Newton looked every bit the top-five fantasy quarterback that he is.

First of all, you can't take points off the board when you fumble on a failed fourth down attempt because you lose possession anyway. Furthermore, Newton was about to be stopped and made a desparation pitch since they would be turning over possession anyway. The only way that would have been an error is if the Saints had returned the TD a significant distance. Lastly, Newton is currently ranked 7th in the ytd rankings so while he may look like a top 5 QB, you can't say he is.

I've noticed a number of the write ups lacking in quality this year. Specifically, I have noticed some really poor writing on the vikings pieces.

Honestly, some of the writers are doing a good job... But a decent number of them off nothing more than a small paragraph recapping the box score.

Week - 3Olsen

Overall, Olsen is a decent low-end TE1 who will see his value rise and fall depending on the game situation.

So in two weeks he's gone from maybe reaching top 10 to a backup role and then to a low end TE1.Newton

This was a game in which everything went wrong for the Panthers, so unless his play deteriorates horribly, continue to trust Newton as a top-five fantasy quarterback.

At least you're consist here...even if it's wrong.Williams

Williams is a decent RB2 going forward.

Or at least until Stewart comes back when someone will proclaim he has no fantasy value.Is FBG really proud of this content? I'd strongly suggest telling these re-cappers to stick to the facts and let Dodds/Henry/etc give the fantasy advice.
