The Panthers expect Adam Thielen to miss some time with a hamstring injury he suffered upon scoring a touchdown. Thielen had 3 receptions for 40 yards.

The Panthers had their way with the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday with a convincing 36-22 victory. The loss of Adam Thielen will have more of a cumulative effect on the win-loss nature of real football results.

The fantasy impact with Thielen’s absence will be a boost to Diontae Johnson. Johnson went off for 8 receptions, 122 yards, and a touchdown on 14 targets. Expect an even larger part of the passing pie to go towards Diontae Johnson. 

There will be a further emphasis for the running game as the Panthers had mass success with Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders. Hubbard led the way Sunday with 114 rushing yards while tacking on 5 receptions, 55 receiving yards, and a receiving touchdown. Things are looking up in Carolina.
