Adam Thielen Is Active Against 49ers
5 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is active for Saturday's Divisional round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Thielen suffered a cut to his ankle on Wednesday that required stitches, but he will suit up for the do-or-die game, as expected. Stefon Diggs (illness) is also active. Both receivers face a daunting matchup in the 49ers Defense as they rank second in pass DVOA and are returning three starters from injury. Thielen may be the better play of the two as he has always produced better than Diggs against zone coverage, but both profile as risky options in this difficult matchup on the road.
