Panthers expect WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) to play Week 12

Panthers expect to get Adam Thielen back this week.

Related players: Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, David Moore

Fantasy Impact:

Thielen has missed all this time with a hamstring injury but looks like he'll be back in a game against the Chiefs. The team announced Bryce Young as the starting QB, but either way, it will be tough to trust Thielen in fantasy lineups in his first game back in a tough matchup. Thielen could have some value in deeper leagues if he's still on your wire, but the Panthers may want to get more looks from their younger WRs. It's best to take the "wait-and-see" approach with Thielen this week.

Panthers activate WR Adam Thielen (hamstring) from IR

The Panthers have activated WR Adam Thielen from IR.

Related players: Xavier Legette, Jalen Coker, David Moore

Fantasy Impact:

Thielen is at the end of his 21-day window to practice and has been dealing with a hamstring injury. It's tough to tell just what the Panthers will do with Thielen in their WR pecking order, but he may very well step right in an be a top target. The Panthers seem like they're trying to get QB Bryce Young to develop with Legette and Coker, but Thielen could also prove to be a nice security blanket for Young. Those looking for WR help may want to make room on your roster for Thielen, especially the deeper the league.

Cowboys trade for WR Jonathan Mingo

According to multiple reports, Dallas is acquiring second-year receiver Jonathan Mingo from Carolina.

Fantasy Impact:

The Cowboys will receive Mingo and a 2025 seventh-round pick for a 2025 fourth-round pick. Mingo, 23, was a second-round pick last season, catching 43 passes for 418 yards. But he has been largely phased out of the offense in 2024, catching just 12 passes for 121 yards in nine games — despite being on the field for 56 percent of the club’s offensive snaps. Mingo has not had a catch since the Oct. 13 loss to Atlanta, and that was for just 1 yard. He’s received four targets over the last two games, the story went on to say. In Carolina, Legette should remain the team's top target. Thielen could end up getting moved today as well, but is due back soon. Coker should get WR2 looks for the rest of the season. Meanwhile in Dallas, Lamb is banged up but has a chance to play in Week 10. Mingo could eventually climb up as the WR2 if he can pass Tolbert, but this change of scenery could at least leave him as the team's WR3 in the immediate future once he gets up to speed. Coker has already been a popular pickup, but if Mingo is on your wire he may be worth adding with the hope his value goes up, mostly in deeper leagues.

Ravens trading for WR Diontae Johnson

Trade: Carolina is sending wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens, sources tell ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

The Panthers get a 5th round pick. It didn't take the Panthers long after rumors were starting to circulate Johnson was in play. The landing spot in Baltimore is interesting to say the least. The big question is will the Ravens consistently throw the ball enough with Travis Henry and Lamar Jackson for Johnson, Flowers and Andrews to keep their fantasy value. It remains to be seen who takes the biggest hit to their value, but the odds seem to favor Flowers here. Meanwhile in Carolina, Thielen is about to return but it's likely time to see what Legette and Mingo can do for the Panthers and the future of their offense.
