How does the lack of strong third party candidates affect the election this year? In 2016, Trump's winning margins in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were less than the number of votes Jill Stein received as the Green Party candidate. The Green party won't be on the ballot this year in Wisconsin or Pennsylvania so that should be a positive for Biden as those voters would be much more likely to support him than Trump.
The Libertarian polling numbers are also down this cycle compared to 2016. The bigger question in my mind is who do those voters support this year. Were they the never Trumpers of the Republican Party or the moderates who disliked Hillary?
