Adam Thielen Hangs 145 Yards On Seahawks In Week 3 Loss

Sunday, September 24, 8:50 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen turned in a huge game in a 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Thielen caught 11 of his 14 targets for 145 yards and a touchdown in the loss, continuing his excellent form of late. The veteran wideout had a slow game in Week 1 but has popped off for 18 catches, 199 yards, and two touchdowns over his past two contests. Emerging as the No. 1 WR in Carolina, Thielen is looking like any every week, must-start moving forward. Next week, he will take on a Minnesota Vikings secondary that was just torched by the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3.

Zay Jones Ruled Out For Sunday Against Houston

Friday, September 22, 6:20 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old wide receiver hurt his knee during Week 2 and didn't log a practice this week as a result. Jones looked sharp in Week 1, snagging five catches (seven targets) for 55 yards and a score but didn't log a reception in Week 2. His absence should lead to target increases for receivers Calvin Ridley, Christian Kirk, and tight end Evan Engram. Jamal Agnew will most likely mix in during three wide receiver sets. Fantasy managers who were hoping Jones would suit up on Sunday need to look elsewhere now.
