Adam Thielen Week 3 Outlook - Panthers at Raiders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

We have to see how many weapons Dalton can support before chasing tertiary weapons in the Carolina passing attack in any week. Thielen has only a 12.3% target share, a 20.3% air-yard share, 1.30 YPRR, and a 14.6% first-read share. Among 92 qualifying wide receivers, he ranks 47th in separation and 90th in route win rate. If his per-route metrics offered a little more hope, I could make at least some conceivable case for Thielen, but it's not there for Week 3.
