Greg Olsen Set To Play Against Rams
4 years agoSeattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen (foot) and defensive lineman Bryan Mone (ankle) will be activated from Injured Reserve and are set to play in Week 16 against the division-rival Rams, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Olsen was put on IR on Nov. 23 after he suffered a planta fascia tear in his foot in Week 11. The veteran tight end will be another weapon for quarterback Russell Wilson down the stretch and into the postseason, but the 35-year-old is on his last legs and won't be a realistic fantasy starter with fantasy titles on the line. Olsen has just 23 catches on 35 targets for 224 yards and a touchdown in 10 games (eight starts) in his first year in Seattle. His return will also mean fewer targets for tight ends Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister, who had been splitting the workload in Olsen's absence.
