Player: WR Adam Thielen
Stock Value: Purchased
Reasoning: The Steelers claimed veteran Adam Thielen off waivers, but what role they envision for him is not immediately known. While he is on the 53-man roster, that is a natural consequence of claiming him. Brodric Martin-Rhodes is also on the 53-man roster for the same reason.
The Steelers didn’t know they would be awarded WR Adam Thielen off waivers when HC Mike Tomlin addressed the media on Tuesday. As a consequence, we didn’t have the opportunity to hear from him about Thielen.
