Adam Thielen

Panthers coach Dave Canales says he expects Adam Thielen (hamstring) to play in Carolina’s Week 12 game against the Chiefs.

When it’s all said and done, Thielen will have missed nine weeks with his hamstring injury. He was activated off IR last Tuesday. Thielen should fit into the three-wide sets with Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette down the stretch. It’s impossible to have any faith in him as a fantasy option until we see some results, but he might cut into targets for Legette and Coker.
