Thielen corralled five of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-30 overtime win over the Cardinals. Thielen cashed in one of Bryce Young's two touchdown strikes Sunday, bringing the receiver's season line up to 38-461-3 in eight starts. The 33-year-old Thielen has been particularly lethal since returning from injured reserve in Week 12, averaging 6.0 receptions and 70.4 yards with two of his three TDs coming over that five-game span. Those numbers are good enough for starting consideration in Week 17 against Tampa Bay in virtually any format.
-
Thielen had a down game in Week 15 against Dallas with just 10.1 PPR points, but he still had seven targets for the third game in a row. Prior to Week 15, Thielen had scored at least 19.2 PPR points in each of his previous two games, and he should continue to be a go-to option for Bryce Young. The Cardinals have allowed at least one receiver to score at least 16.9 PPR points in three of their past four games, and Thielen has the best chance to reach that mark in Week 16.

Thielen recorded five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys. The Panthers couldn't get their passing attack on track, with the only explosive play being an 83-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Coker. Thus, despite leading the team in targets and receptions, Thielen turned in a modest performance. Positively, he should remain Bryce Young's top target, though the overall state of the Carolina offense may lead to inconsistent results.

I was hesitant to trust Thielen in Week 14 at Philadelphia, but he was awesome with nine catches for 102 yards on 11 targets. He now has 17 catches for 201 yards and a touchdown on 21 targets in his past two games against the Buccaneers and Eagles, and he's worth starting as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in Week 15 at Dallas. The Cowboys are No. 9 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and the past three No. 1 receivers against Dallas -- Terry McLaurin in Week 12, Malik Nabers in Week 13 and Ja'Marr Chase in Week 14 -- all scored at least 15.3 PPR points.
-
Thielen has a 28.4% target share over the past two weeks and Bryce Young is playing the best football of his young career. The Cowboys defense has been a very good matchup for wide receivers and Thielen has scored 43.1 PPR Fantasy points in his last two games. He also has an elite matchup in the Fantasy championship week against Tampa Bay.
