5 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is projected to be a high-risk start for Saturday's Divisional Round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Thielen suffered a cut to his ankle in Wednesday's practice and did not practice on Thursday, but he is still expected to suit up for the pivotal playoff contest. Thielen is coming off his first big game since his Week 7 injury, but the 49ers Defense is a difficult matchup, as they allow the fewest passing yards per game and rank second in pass DVOA. Thielen has historically had more success than Stefon Diggs against zone coverage, which the 49ers often use, but the red flags are clear to see here. Thielen is not a player to consider for cash-game DFS lineups, but he could be used as a high-risk, high-ceiling receiver in tournaments.--Kyle Ringstad - RotoBaller
