Adam Thielen
WR · #160PIT · WR · Age 36
BENCH
At age 35, Adam Thielen's recent release from the Steelers and his injury-shortened season in 2025 signal a significant decline in performance and opportunity.
Role & trajectory
Thielen's snap share fell to 33.4% over just nine games, indicating reduced playing time and diminished role before his release.
Projected outlook
With free agent WRs like Elijah Moore and Jermaine Burton carrying higher values, Thielen's projected outlook is that of a bench player with limited opportunity for meaningful fantasy production.
Risk & schedule
The risk of further decline due to age and physical deterioration is high, as evidenced by his 42.1% catch rate and only eight catches in the last season before being released.
