Adam Thielen Is A Low-End WR1 In Return
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) was limited again in practice on Thursday, but all indications are pointing to him suiting up for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs Defense has been surprisingly competent this season and has only allowed six touchdowns to receivers over their eight games played. The Chiefs could be without starting cornerback Kendall Fuller, which would obviously give Thielen's expected production a bump. Thielen is averaging 14.5 yards per catch and has six touchdowns this season - he's a player you're plugging into your starting lineup without hesitation whenever he's active. Start him as a low-end WR1 in Week 9 but keep an eye on his status leading up to Sunday.
