Panthers' Adam Thielen 'impressed' and 'excited' to play with Bryce Young

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen has been impressed with new quarterback Bryce Young and has been excited to get back to work with him, Charean Williams of NBC Sports reports.

What It Means:

"It’s impressive," Thielen said of Young's ability to maneuver in the pocket and make plays. "It gets you excited to get back working together and to really try to start gaining ground." The Panthers added the veteran receiver in free agency specifically because they expected his skillset to mesh well with Young's, and from the looks of things it seems like they may have been onto something. Thielen also said Young surprised many of the team's veterans with his preparation, grasping the offense quickly and communicating well to his teammates.

Our models project Young to finish his rookie season as the QB22 in fantasy football. He should be able to elevate at least one of his pass-catchers to fantasy relevance for the upcoming season as well, with each of Thielen (WR66), D.J. Chark (WR49), Terrace Marshall (WR108) and Jonathan Mingo (WR63) vying for looks in the Panthers' new-look offense.
