Depth Chart Change: Olsen has dropped from 1st to 2nd on the depth chart. He has changed teams since last year moving from the Bears to the Panthers. Player Turnover: Based on prior performance, a change in roster skilled positions projects a lower fantasy average of (0.628125) pts per game for Olsen.

Schedule Difficulty: Based on the winning percentage of the teams on the schedule Olsen playes this year (109 - 100 - 0 0.522%) will be more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule from last season (99 - 109 - 0 0.476%), and last season's teams gave up more points (4,639) compared to this season's teams (4,553) so this could mean less fantasy points. Performance Against Sub 500 Teams: Olsen surprisingly had a higher fantasy avg (3.27 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (3.06 pts/game), so with a more difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could be an indication of a higher fantasy average.
