After Addison avoided a trial on a drunken driving case in California by pleading no contest to a lesser charge last week, the adjudication paved the way for the league to issue discipline. NFL policy on substances of abuse calls for a three-game suspension for a first offense of an alcohol-related violation of the law.

This longtime former Minnesota Vikings receiver came to Carolina as two years may be it for him in a Panthers jersey.

Thielen, 35, has been with the Panthers for the past two seasons, but he spent his first decade in the NFL with the Vikings after signing as an undrafted free agent following the 2013 NFL Draft. Now, he could look to reunite with his former team after running into some help at the wide receiver spot.

Thielen spent nine seasons with the Vikings, where he picked up a total of 6,682 yards and 64 touchdowns. His most successful season was in 2018, when he brought in 1,373 yards and nine touchdowns. Oddly enough, Thielen set a career-high touchdown count in 2020, when he brought in 14 on 925 yards.

The 49ers and Vikings are also making calls. Jordan Addison, Minnesota’s No. 2 wideout, will miss the first three games of the regular season due to a suspension from the league following an issue involving a DUI in Los Angeles in July of 2024.

Jordan Addison’s talent is undeniable, but with a suspension looming, fantasy managers must weigh upside against risk in 2025 drafts.
