2025 Fantasy Outlook
Olszewski didn't play at all in 2024 due to a groin injury. Nonetheless, the Giants re-signed the veteran return specialist near the beginning of training camp after Bryce Ford-Wheaton suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. Olszewski has never caught more than five passes in an NFL regular season, as he's worked almost exclusively as a return specialist. That will likely be his role in 2025 as well, though Ihmir Smith-Marsette is expected to be the Giants' top kick and punt returner. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a contract with the Giants in August of 2025.
Moving up WR depth chart
Olszewski didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Chicago. He also called for a fair catch on his lone chance at a punt return.
ANALYSIS
Though Olszewski couldn't reel in either of his two targets, he undoubtedly made a positive impression on New York's coaching staff when he astutely punched the ball away from Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright on what looked like a sure interception in Chicago's end zone. Also of note is that Olszewski logged a 38 percent offensive snap share, third highest among Giants wideouts behind Wan'Dale Robinson (99 percent) and Darius Slayton (62 percent). The only other New York WR to get any offensive snaps was Ray-Ray McCloud, who logged a 27 percent snap share. Meanwhile, Jalin Hyatt didn't see the field, making it clear that Olszewski has jumped over Hyatt in the pecking order, at least temporarily. Whether or not that continues moving forward remains to be seen, though, as the Giants fired head coach Brian Daboll on Monday, casting uncertainty about what lies ahead for the team's personnel, depth chart and playbook.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to be tendered
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.
