Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Wednesday, March 12, 10:40 PM

Veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen will officially return for a 12th NFL season in 2025 after agreeing to a a revised contract with the Carolina Panthers, sources tell ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Thielen will now look to add to his 8,311 yards and 64 touchdowns in his career. The 34-year-old veteran wideout briefly contemplated retirement after the 2024 season but isn't quite ready to hang up his cleats after catching 48 passes for 615 yards and five touchdowns in a career-low 10 starts last year. A hamstring injury cost him seven games, but he still managed to lead the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. Thielen had a strong 103-1,014-4 line in 17 starts in 2023 in his first year in Carolina and has developed a strong chemistry with young quarterback Bryce Young. He's definitely an injury risk in fantasy, but when healthy, he should have a decent target floor as a WR4/flex in weekly fantasy lineups.

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. ended the season on a high note, catching a 12-yard touchdown pass from Kyler Murray. Harrison Jr. was active in the 47-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers, catching five passes for 63 yards and one touchdown. Harrison Jr. joined Cardinals legends Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald in a tie for the most receiving touchdowns by a Cardinals rookie, with eight. Harrison Jr. entered the season with sky-high expectations, leading some to view his year as a disappointment. However, he built momentum with his last two performances of the season and will look to have a breakout year in his second season with the Cardinals.
