Adam Thielen Expected To Have Significant Role

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen has been receiving praise from both head coach Frank Reich and team owner David Tepper. The 32-year-old is reportedly the favorite to lead the team in receptions, according to Darin Gantt of Panthers.com. The assumption is that Thielen's ability to run short routes well should mesh well with quarterback Bryce Young. The hope is that it'll lead to a bunch of short touchdowns this year. Thielen saw a drop in production last season, but is expected to be the primary receiving option in Carolina. That being said, Thielen could make for an interesting PPR option during upcoming drafts.
