BALLER MOVE: Target ~90
CURRENT ADP: ~105
ANALYSIS: Tremendously efficient in 2016, Adam Thielen came out of relative obscurity to post 967 receiving yards and five TDs with 69 catches on just 92 targets. Thielen developed a good rapport with Sam Bradford on the way to a top 30 WR finish in 2016, despite only having 281 receiving yards through his first two seasons combined.
Granted, breathing down his neck is second-year WR Laquon Treadwell, whom the Vikings selected with the 23rd overall pick in the 2016 draft, but Thielen has locked up a starting job opposite Diggs to start the season. Thielen has to be considered a candidate for a repeat of his performance in 2016 until Treadwell makes a better case to usurp him than he has to this point as the latter only has one career catch.
Outside of the top 120 picks, Adam Thielen has the potential to be eminently usable, for pennies on the dollar. In PPR leagues, he's practically a must have at his low draft day cost.
