QB Cutler's go to guy: TE Greg Olsen

Aug 07, 2009

New Bears QB Jay Cutler may already have a go-to guy in Chicago who isn't speedy wideout Devin Hester or workhouse running back Matt Forte: 6-foot-5 tight end Greg Olsen.

"You don't find it very often with a guy with that kind of motor and as big as he is, just the way he adjusts to balls," Cutler said Wednesday. "A lot of guys that big are kind of stiff and they can't really do some of the things he can. He's a huge target and we have to use him the right way."

With training camp in its early stages, it has already become routine for Cutler to find Olsen in the passing game, so much so that the third-year tight end out of Miami has been elevated to the first string ahead of 11-year veteran Desmond Clark. The move up the depth chart was no shock to Olsen or Clark.

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo "plans to play" TNF

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

Fantasy Impact:

We're projecting Patrick Taylor as the next man up in the 49ers' version of running back roulette *if* Guerendo is forced out, as he easily has the most familiarity with the team. Abanikanda can be stashed if that's not the case, but shouldn't be in starting consideration if Guerendo does indeed miss Week 15.

Otherwise, consider the fourth-round rookie a fantasy RB2.

Fantasy Impact:

This doesn't really impact Nacua or Kupp either way, but Atwell could log a little extra work here. Consider him a very deep league WR5.
