Coming into the season, the Washington Redskins were set at the tight end position. Jordan Reed had a breakout 2015 campaign and depth players Vernon Davis and Niles Paul were set to make the team very deep at the position. The position has proven to be a strength for the team, despite Reed’s injury issues, and in most matchups, they have an advantage.
However, this Monday night that could change. The Panthers have a very strong tight end of their own in Greg Olsen. The 10 year veteran has long been one of the most productive tight ends in the NFL, and his size and vertical speed make him extremely difficult to cover.
