Adam Thielen

Panthers WR Adam Thielen will return in 2025 after finalizing a revised contract.

Fantasy Impact

Thielen has remained a safety blanket for whoever was behind center last season for Carolina. He'll remain in the WR4 range for fantasy managers.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen said he "still has some more football" left in his career after taking some time to evaluate his options after the 2024 season.

Fantasy Impact

Thielen missed a chunk of the middle third of the 2024 season because of injury, seeing a stint on injured reserve, but he had a strong end to his year. The veteran wideout had 48 catches for 615 yards and five touchdowns, he will play his 12th NFL season in 2025 at the age of 35. For now, he seems likely to return, having credited Bryce Young's development for his desire to return to Carolina in the past.

Adam Thielen caught 5-of-6 targets for 44 yards in the Panthers 44-38 win over the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Thielen will end his 2024 season with 615 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 48 receptions in 10 games. The 34-year-old veteran will head into the final year of his contract with the Panthers and should return as one of Bryce Young's more reliable options.

Adam Thielen was a bright spot in the Carolina Panthers' 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He caught five passes for 110 yards, including two touchdown receptions from quarterback Bryce Young. Thielen's touchdowns accounted for all of Carolina's scoring, highlighting his role in the Panthers' passing game. Despite his efforts, the Panthers' offense struggled overall, managing only 39 rushing yards without injured running back Chuba Hubbard.

Fantasy Impact

Thielen's performance reinforces his value as a reliable fantasy option, particularly in PPR formats. His ability to produce significant yardage and find the end zone, even in a struggling offense, makes him a dependable starting choice. Fantasy managers should continue to start Thielen with confidence.

Adam Thielen is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

Thielen was limited at practice back-to-back days to end the week. He should be a WR3/flex play for fantasy managers.
