Flying
High Under the Radar
Last season the Vikings wide receiver Adam
Thielen was hardly a household name, even in his home town. And even after
posting career highs in receptions (69), yards receiving (967), and touchdowns
(5), Thielen entered this season as a quiet mention and a No. 2 wide receiver.
He was last year’s No.29 fantasy WR (in
PPR), but this season Thielen has arrived and after 10 weeks, he is currently
the league’s No.3 fantasy wideout.
He’s no longer a groomsmen, he is a groom.
Thielen is a solid No.1 WR and a must-start every week.
In 9 games this season Thielen has 56
catches (tied for 5th in the league) for 793 receiving yards (3rd in the
league) and two touchdowns. He’s quickly risen to the fantasy threshold as one
of the league’s top receivers.
Thielen has recorded five games with over
90 yards receiving and has 2 games this season with over 150 yards. He has also
recorded at least 5 catches in every game this season, including three games
with 8 or more receptions.
He and Stefon Diggs are the new Wonder Twins
in Minnesota, and with these two the Vikings are having Superbowl visions.
Thielen may have entered this season under
the radar, but he is clearly flying high in 2017.
That's My Take.
