Our draft came and went with Bryce Young being taken in the final round by a Bama homer and not one wr being taken. I'm going to drop add tomorrow and pick up Thielen. Don't want any other wrs (maybe Mingo as a long play hold) or that defense. What are your thoughts on fantasy possibilities for Bryce, TE, WR's?

The answer to this question will always depend on league format.

If you're in a 10 team non-PPR league with standard rosters (i.e. 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 flex), I think Sanders is the only draftable Panther this year, only exception would be a late flyer on Mingo if you are set at WR and can take some lottery tickets that you can let sit for a month or so.

But if you're in a league like mine, 12 team PPR with 2 flex spots, then someone like Thielen is 100% someone you should be targeting as your 4th or 5th WR, i.e. your top WR on the bench who becomes your starter during injury and bye week issues.  I absolutely LOVE Thielen in that role, hell, in that exact role for me last year he helped me win my championship as I had some injury issues and he ended up starting almost every week for me during the season and then I got lucky and was healthy in the playoffs and he moved to my bench.  

In this offense, he seems like he's going to be Bryce's safety valve who is all but guaranteed 4-5 catches for 40-50 yards each game, with some where he gets some more than that and then adds around 6 TD's on top.  That's a guaranteed 9-10 points per game in a PPR, which is exactly what you'd want from that guy that you use as a filler starter when needed, low ceiling but a high floor.

Unfortunately for me, I'm in an auction league with a 11 Lions fans who all would have watched that last game.  Before this game I think I was going to be able to get him for $1, now after they all watched Bryce target him in that game, I'm sure some people will bid him up on me after seeing that.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
