Adam Thielen Scores Two Red-Zone Touchdowns
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen scored two red-zone touchdowns with nine catches for 92 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran wideout's younger counterpart Justin Jefferson dazzled as well, but this was Thielen's game. The 31-year-old was productive last season as well with 14 touchdowns, but with Jefferson's emergence, it seemed like there could be a passing of the guard up north. In fantasy drafts, the market was fearful that Thielen could continue fading in favor of Jefferson with an ADP of 50 overall. Though it's just one week, it's clear that Thielen will remain a vital fantasy asset but will still coexist with Jefferson. The Viking proved that he belongs as a WR2 despite his relatively advanced age.
