Bears | Olsen vs Clark 'sleeper training camp battle of the summer Wed Jul 21, 07:29 PM
John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports that the Chicago Bears TE competition between Greg Olsen and Desmond Clark is "the sleeper battle of the summer". Clayton reports Clark has "caught the eye" of the Bears new offensive coaching staff, and even though Olsen has improved every season of his three-year career, the staff "think he could be doing more".
| Footballguys view: As if you needed another reason to avoid Olsen in fantasy drafts this season. If there are signs that Mike Martz is willing to carve out a WR-like role for Olsen this year, be ready to take him late in your drafts or pounce on the waiver wire early in the season, but for now, Olsen is a fantasy persona non grata. |
