Adam Thielen fantasy football managers have had nothing but good feelings since Week 2. While there were some high expectations for Thielen coming into this season, he has surpassed those high expectations, with him consistently finishing as a top-20 wide receiver in his last four games.
Entering Week 6 of the NFL season, Adam Thielen fantasy football owners should feel good about the Carolina Panthers’ veteran wide receiver once again.
Adam Thielen’s Fantasy Football Outlook is High in Week 6
Since Week 2, Adam Thielen has accumulated an impressive 92.8 PPR fantasy points, with consistently maintaining a high floor of 15.2 points. This performance places him as the third-highest-scoring wide receiver in this span, with only DJ Moore and Ja’Marr Chase outscoring him.
What makes Thielen’s feat even more impressive is the inconsistency he’s had to navigate around him. From having backup quarterback Andy Dalton in Week 3 to witnessing the Carolina Panthers running game struggle, Thielen has remained consistent. In fact, he ranks fourth in targets and ninth in receiving yards among wide receivers since Week 2.
Everything is hotter in Miami, and that even means the Adam Thielen fantasy football outlook against the Dolphins in Week 6. The Dolphins have struggled to contain wide receivers in recent matchups, allowing five different wide receivers to amass over 60 receiving yards and score more than 15 PPR points in the last three games. The numbers become even more eye-popping when considering wide receivers targeted seven or more times against the Dolphins over the same period. In this scenario, the three wide receivers who were targeted that many times have collectively averaged 6.3 receptions, 97.3 yards and 1.3 touchdowns, translating to an impressive 24 PPR points. It’s worth noting that Thielen has hauled in at least seven receptions in each of his last four games.
