Panthers trade WR Adam Thielen to Vikings in pick swap

Adam Schefter

Aug 27 · 10:00 AM EDT

Homecoming: Panthers and Vikings are finalizing a trade for WR Adam Thielen to return to Minnesota, sources tell ESPN.

The trade: Vikings get Thielen, a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick.

Panthers get a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

Thielen starred for the Vikings from 2013-2022. Now he returns.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a good move to ease J.J. McCarthy into the league with Jordan Addison suspended for the first three games. Thielen is heading into his age-35 (!!) season and doesn't offer nearly the run-after-catch ability as he did in his heyday, but he can operate as a consistent option for the young QB. He's unlikely to hit double-digit targets as he did a couple times last year with JJ and T.J. Hockenson around, but he could be playable for desperate deep-league managers.

Back in Carolina, this helps clear the runway for Jalen Coker to operate as the Panthers' primary slot option after a pretty impressive rookie season for a UDFA. He's an interesting stash.

MIN WR Justin Jefferson - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Green Bay Packers

Justin Jefferson is on a tear, but is that really much of a surprise? Jefferson is an elite receiver and stepping up big when the Vikings need him most, as they try to chase down the Lions in the NFC North. He has over 100 yards in two of his last three games and had 99 yards in Week 13. In his first meeting with the Packers in Week 4, Jefferson caught six passes for 85 yards and a touchdown. Jefferson is matchup-proof, especially in the fantasy championship.
