Lands on IR
The Giants placed Olszewski (groin) on injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Olszewski hurt his groin in mid-August but was initially cleared to play against Minnesota in Week 1. However, he aggravated the injury during warmups and was subsequently ruled out. Olszewski's placement on IR means he'll need to miss at least New York's next four contests. Ihmir Smith-Marsette appears poised to take over kick and punt return duties in Olszewski's absence.

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.
