Olszewski (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 affair against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The sixth-year pro out of Bemidji State has been dealing with a groin injury for a couple of weeks, but it appears he's moved past the issue. With Olszewski back to full health, he's expected to serve as the Giants' top kick and punt returner in 2024.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
Olszewski saw plenty of work returning kickoffs and punts in New England in 2020 and 2021, and he signed a two-year deal with the Steelers ahead of the 2022 season. He lost his job as Pittsburgh's return man after fumbling twice over the first four weeks of the year, but he could begin 2023 as the primary returner after Steven Sims signed with the Texans. Offensively, he secured just five of seven targets for 53 yards while rushing eight times for 39 yards, so it seems unlikely that he'll be a significant fantasy contributor this year, especially after the team acquired Allen Robinson this offseason.
Olszewski spent the first three seasons of his career with the Patriots and secured nine of 12 targets for 127 yards and a touchdown while rushing six times for 32 yards. His biggest impact came while returning kickoffs and punts, and he'll likely have a chance to serve as the Steelers' top return man after he signed a two-year deal with Pittsburgh in March.
Olszewski finished the 2020 season with five catches (on five targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown and five carries for 23 yards in 13 games. Though the 6-0, 190-pounder hasn't seen much work in the Patriots offense in two pro campaigns, he did make quite a mark as a returner, fielding 18 kickoffs for 418 yards and 20 punts for 346 yards and a TD. The 24-year-old's strong effort in that department led to him being selected to the AP 2020 All-Pro First Team as a special teamer. Olszewski thus should reprise his role in the return game this coming season. Whether he sees more opportunities as a pass catcher, however, hinges largely on the health of the handful of receivers currently ahead of him on the depth chart.
Olszewski caught two passes for 34 yards and averaged nine yards on 20 punt returns in eight games last season before landing on injured reserve with an ankle issue in November. In 2020, the 23-year-old is slated to compete for a depth wideout role and if he sticks should also maintain a role in the return game. A strong training camp and the release of Mohamed Sanu have increased Olszewski's odds of sticking, but his deep sleeper appeal is minimal, so long as Julian Edelman remains healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to be tendered
WRNew England Patriots
January 25, 2022
Olszewski is expected to be tendered a contract after he becomes a restricted free agent in March, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Olszewski will have to be tendered an offer by 4 p.m. EST on March 17, and the Patriots can offer either a first, second or original-round tender. That choice will dictate Olszewski's potential salary, or the compensation that the Patriots would receive if he departs for another team. Olszewski recorded only a modest two catches for 31 yards across 16 games in 2021, but he served as the team's primary kick and punt returner.
