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 More Comfortable on Defense?

Wednesday, June 18, 12:06 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie two-way star Travis Hunter, who was taken second overall in this year's NFL draft, has impressed the coaching staff during offseason workouts. However, he might be more comfortable on the defensive side of the ball in his first year in the league. It makes sense as to why the Jaguars focused on getting Hunter more reps on the offensive side early on. "This is not an offense specifically that you just go out, line up and play," said head coach Liam Coen. "Our understanding that Travis is most naturally comfortable, most naturally in tune on the defensive side of the ball, we wanted to load him up offensively throughout this window to ensure that by the time we got to training camp, we had a runway built up on that side because there's so much more nuance." The Jags plan to play Hunter on both sides of the ball his rookie season, which will probably hurt his fantasy ceiling as a pure wideout. Don't reach for Hunter on draft day in redraft leagues.
