4 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will face a Lions Defense in Week 9 that has allowed the 13th most fantasy points to receivers this season. Thielen's fantasy value has been mostly tied to touchdowns this season but Detroit has allowed only one touchdown since Week 4. The Vikings passing attack has been wildly erratic at times and Thielen, historically, has not fared well against the Lions. In 11 career games, the veteran receiver is averaging only 38.75 yards per game with only two touchdowns against the Lions. Thielen needs to be started in most formats but expectations may need to be tempered.--Joey C - RotoBaller
