Olszewski didn't see any NFL action in 2024, as he injured his groin during warmups in Week 1 and spent the remainder of the campaign on injured reserve.
ANALYSIS
Olszewski first hurt his groin during a training camp practice in mid-August but appeared to have recovered enough to play in Week 1. However, he aggravated the issue ahead of the season opener versus Minnesota and was never designated to return. Olszewski has only 15 career regular-season catches over 65 contests, but he's had ample NFL success as a returner. He's slated to be an unrestricted free agent and could draw interest from clubs looking to upgrade their special-teams unit.

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.
