Newsbreakers
September 28, 2008
Greg Olsen scored his first touchdown of the season on Sunday night while also catching four passes for 35 yards.

Our View:The second-year tight end has been awfully quiet this season, but he won't get a much better match-up than next week at Detroit. He could be a good bye week fill-in.
September 7, 2008
Tight ends ruled in the Chicago offense Sunday night. Both veteran Desmond Clark and second-year player Greg Olsen recorded two catches, combining for 82 of quarterback Kyle Orton's 150 yards passing.

Our View:As long as the Bears continue to play two tight end sets, Olsen's fantasy value is tiny.
July 28, 2008
SI.com has tabbed Greg Olsen as a breakout candidate. Over the weekend "Olsen got the most consistent cheers. Without a proven bunch of receivers, OC Ron Turner says he'll lean more heavily on the second-year tight end, who came on strong around midseason last year after essentially missing the first four games to a knee injury. Olsen has been a beast at camp, snatching balls in traffic and exhibiting acrobatic abilities on one particular deep ball Saturday -- that he barely managed to fingertip to himself while staying in bounds. Tellingly, that pass came from Grossman, which Bears fans have to like if he wins the job. Olsen and Grossman never seemed to click last year. Most of his balls came from Orton or the departed Brian Griese."

Our View:We completely agree that Olsen may be the most lethal target for Bears quarterbacks this season. As a rookie, he only recorded 39 catches and two touchdowns but could more than double that production in 2008.
April 3, 2008
Tight ends Desmond Clark and Greg Olsen will have expanded roles in the Chicago Bears’ offense, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The Bears’ wide receiver corps includes Mark Bradley, Marty Booker and Brandon Lloyd, so featuring the tight position makes a lot of sense. Last year, Clark and Olsen combined for 83 receptions, 936 yards and six scores.
October 14, 2007
Greg Olsen put together his second straight solid performance on Sunday against Minnesota, catching five passes for 63 yards. The Bears should continue to keep the rookie involved in the offense, and he could be an underrated option going forward.
