BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen was a potential sleeper candidate entering the season. Many believed the veteran wide receiver had nothing left in the tank. Yet, he has been productive for fantasy players.
Thielen is the WR14 for the year, averaging 12.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has 77 receptions on 100 targets for 728 receiving yards and four touchdowns, leading the team in every category. Furthermore, the veteran has seen at least 10 targets in 54.6% of the games this season, including five or the past seven contests.
Unfortunately, Thielen is coming off an awful performance in Week 12. Despite having a fantasy-friendly matchup against the Tennessee Titans, the veteran wide receiver had only one reception on three targets for two receiving yards and 0.7 fantasy points – all season-lows.
However, fantasy players should still trust Thielen this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The NFC South division rivals have surrendered 32.8 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Over the past five weeks, the Buccaneers have surrendered 219.6 receiving yards, 1.2 touchdowns, and 37.1 fantasy points per game to the position.
