In a matchup of serious NFC playoff contenders, who will have a better Sunday: Greg Olsen of the Carolina Panthers or Jimmy Graham of the Green Bay Packers?
In what should be one of the better games of the Week 10 slate, the Green Bay Packers will host the Carolina Panthers for a late afternoon kickoff at Lambeau Field. While Green Bay leads its division, Carolina is fighting to stay alive a few games back of the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South.
Which team will prevail? Better yet, which players from this game will lead your fantasy football team to victory? Even better, which tight end has the best chance to help you win on fantasy football Sunday in Week 10: Greg Olsen of the Panthers or Jimmy Graham of the Packers? The Fantasy Footballers figure this one out so you don’t have to.

Jason Moore likes Olsen because the Packers have struggled to cover tight ends this season, so look for him to go off and have a big game. Maybe he’ll be a big reason the Panthers are able to steal one in Lambeau Field against the NFC North-leading Packers?
Andy Holloway isn’t overly thrilled with either, citing he might be out on Olsen, who hasn’t performed well of late. Then again, he wasn’t exactly ecstatic about playing Graham this week either. Mike Wright, well, he’d rather play Darren Waller over either of them if he had the choice because he is the Wallerus. Koo-koo-cachoo.
So the tight end hierarchy here is Olsen, definitely not Graham and you were better off playing Waller on Thursday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. Waller gave you three catches for 40 yards, so he didn’t even come close to cracking 10 points in fantasy for Week 10.
So with Waller out of the mix, let’s go with Olsen in this one. Both teams will obviously want this game, but Olsen has been more steady in recent years that Graham, or really ever since he left the Saints in that Max Unger trade with the Seattle Seahawks. If you had to pick one, go with Olsen.
