Adam Thielen Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

WR Adam Thielen racked up 9 receptions for 102 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. The numbers look even better when you check his shares of the Carolina team totals. Thielen's 11 targets constituted 32.4% of QB Bryce Young's total pass attempts. He also commanded 47.4% of the team's total receptions and 53.4% of Panthers receiving yards.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore will continue to operate as Carolina’s clear top three WRs against Philadelphia’s top-ranked WR defense.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. It looks like he had a setback on Thursday and then didn’t practice on Friday. Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore will continue to operate as Carolina’s clear top three WRs on Sunday. The Eagles rank first in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice, putting him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. We don't expect Coker's return to impact WR Xavier Legette or WR Adam Thielen's playing time. We'll see if Coker moves past WR David Moore in the pecking order, but neither guy can be trusted in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen led the team catching eight of 10 targets for 99 yards and a TD in his second game back from injury. It was a solid day for the Panthers WRs with Xavier Legette catching four of eight targets for 53 yards and David Moore catching five of nine targets for 40 yards.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. That leaves Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore as Carolina’s clear top three receivers against the league’s 27th-ranked WR defense.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Chiefs. Thielen could immediately re-emerge as QB Bryce Young’s top target, but we’d try to avoid him in fantasy lineups in his first action since Week 3. WR Jalen Coker (quad) is inactive.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. HC Dave Canales said Friday, though, that Thielen will play. He’d be a desperation fantasy start against Kansas City’s 10th-ranked WR defense. WR Jalen Coker (quad) was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday. He’s listed as questionable and should not be in Week 12 fantasy lineups.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) was limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Dave Canales said Monday that he expects Thielen to play this weekend, but he'd be a shaky fantasy start against the Chiefs' 10th-ranked WR defense.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday morning's game vs. the Giants in Germany. Carolina will again trot out Xavier Legette, David Moore, and Jalen Coker as its top three WRs in that one.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It looks like he suffered a setback in practice last week. Thielen seems unlikely to play vs. the Giants on Sunday, but we'll keep you updated on his status.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. He was limited on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday and was originally listed as doubtful. It looks like he suffered a setback -- unless Carolina is holding him out in hopes of trading him before Tuesday's deadline.

Panthers WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend's game vs. the Saints. He put in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday. It's unclear if he suffered a setback or just took Friday off in preparation for a Week 10 return. WR Xavier Legette, meanwhile, is questionable for Sunday's game with a toe injury. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited again on Friday. That leaves Jalen Coker, David Moore, and Jonathan Mingo as Carolina's top three healthy WRs.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday that he expects WR Diontae Johnson to get traded ahead of next Tuesday's deadline. It makes plenty of sense for the 1-7 Panthers to get something in return for Johnson, who is set to hit free agency this offseason. A new home would certainly mean an upgrade in QB play and general offensive environment for Johnson. But he'd also have a new offense to learn and very likely face tougher target competition. Consider Johnson a hold while we wait on a potential trade. His departure would free up targets for WRs Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, and Jalen Coker. But none is an exciting fantasy option considering the state of that offense.
