Nothing Guaranteed Beyond 2025 For Adam Thielen

Friday, May 2, 12:02 PM

Carolina Panthers veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen said that he talked with his family, and they wanted him to play in 2025. He plans to go through a similar process after this season, which is the final year of his contract. Depending on how the 34-year-old feels and what his family thinks after the 2025 campaign, Thielen could hang up his cleats and retire. He's returning for a third season in Carolina after playing in a career-low 10 games in 2024 due to a hamstring injury. In those 10 games, he caught 48 of his 62 targets for 615 yards and five touchdowns. He should continue to be a trusted weapon for young quarterback Bryce Young out of the slot this year, but the addition of first-round rookie wideout Tetairoa McMillan will surely make Thielen harder to trust as a WR3/flex in fantasy based on volume alone like he was in 2023, when he recorded the third 1,000-yard season of his career on 103 targets.

Travis Hunter Playing Defense on Friday

Friday, July 25, 9:16 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter will be making his camp debut on the defensive side of the ball on Friday. It looks like the Jags are going to start Hunter slow and have him only practice on one side a day. After a few weeks, the Jags want Hunter to practice on offense and defense daily. It remains to be seen how the Jags plan to use Hunter during the regular season. Hunter figures to split up time between offense and defense, but will likely play on the offensive side more frequently. Fantasy managers should get a better idea of his usage as camp goes on.
