FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 13
Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers
FanDuel Price: $6,200
Salary Change: Down $800
After reaching a peak salary of $8,100 in Week 5, Greg Olsen has seen his price decrease every single week, along with posting only one double-digit FanDuel performance in the last five weeks. His salary now sits at a season-low $6,200 after a steep $800 drop.
His salary peaked after a three-game stretch where he averaged 12 targets per game and recorded 321 receiving yards. His involvement has dropped off in recent weeks, but he’s still a key piece of this offense -- he’s seen less than five targets just once in 2016.
He’ll face the Seattle Seahawks this week, a team he tormented last season with a total of 13 receptions for 208 yards and 2 touchdowns. With Seattle’s defense ailing, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Olsen have another big game.
There are numerous expensive players in great spots this week -- Brees, Le'Veon Bell, and David Johnson, to name a few -- so it will be tough to pay up for a tight end in cash games. Rostering players at their cheapest prices all season is generally a profitable move, so when you combine Olsen’s salary with his likely low ownership and ability to differentiate your overall lineup construction, he becomes a top-tier GPP option.
