BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: K.J. Osborn's rostership before W14: 3%; after W14: 38%. The impact of injuries, folks, as Adam Thielen got banged up and missed last TNF entirely, opening the door to Justin Jefferson and prior-afterthought Osborn to excel. The truth is, Osborn already thrived backing up Thielen on a large basis (the veteran only played six snaps before leaving early) back on Week 13 and he kept building on that chance last week.
Osborn's 14.7 PPR points while stepping up as Thielen left W13 was a nice enough tally, can't argue about that. But he doubled down on his production on Thursday night and put up an even better 17.3 tally that ranks as his third-best outing of the year in terms of PPR points scored. It's now been back-to-back weeks for Osborn with 7+ targets, 3+ receptions, 47+ yards, and two total touchdowns with one coming in each of the past two games.
Thielen might come back Sunday, but he might also miss that one. His injury often takes more time to heal and I mean, Minny is 6-7 in the NFC North. Not the worst record, but definitely one making things hard for the Vikings' postseason odds with four weeks to play. Will they rush Thielen back, or will they hold onto it for another week? We'll see. The only real thing is that Osborn is a bona fide WR2 getting more than a healthy volume of targets and making the most of those (he had three more games of 6+ targets early in the season and averaged 15.3 PPR points in those, just in case).
