He clearly does not need a good matchup in order to have a good fantasy day, but this week he gets a superb matchup. Olsen will be up against a Saints defense just isn't very good, checking in 30th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play.
In two games against the Saints last season, Olsen averaged 8.5 receptions for 131.5 yards and a touchdown. With the Panthers having the highest implied total of any team this week, and Olsen leading the way with 29.12% of the team's targets thus far, he's in line for another big week.
