Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Adam Thielen

According to former New England Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan, wideout Stefon Diggs (knee) has looked good during OTAs, so much so that he didn't remember the infamous Memorial Day boating video. "I've already forgotten about the boat video. I thought [Diggs] looked great," said Hogan. "It's earlier, I think, than most people expected coming back from an ACL injury. I love the way he's looking running routes and cutting." The veteran will presumably miss time to begin the 2025-26 campaign after tearing his ACL in Week 8 while still a member of the Houston Texans. Although it's still early, it appears Diggs at least has a chance to exceed expectations on a timetable to return, which would undoubtedly be good news for quarterback Drake Maye, who is hoping to improve in his second season in the National Football League.

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.
