Adam Thielen's Lack Of Touchdowns Hurts His Value Against Eagles
7 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has had a career season with 91 receptions and 1,276 yards, including 74 receiving yards last week in the Vikings wild win against the Saints. But Thielen has only four touchdowns this season and has not caught a touchdown since Dec.10. He has been a go-to receiver for quarterback Case Keenum, but when the Vikings get in the red zone, Thielen serves more as a decoy than a weapon. This week he will take on an Eagles defense that has allowed the 14th most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. The Eagles have been tough on the run this season but can be beat in the secondary. Thielen is an excellent route runner and should have no issue getting open often this weekend. He may not find the end zone, but Thielen is a top-four play at his position in fantasy for this weekend.
