Adam Thielen Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The 29-year-old failed to practice this week after doing so in limited fashion last week. His absence will result in more opportunities for pass-catchers Stefon Diggs, Bisi Johnson, Kyle Rudolph, and Irv Smith- all of whom have favorable matchups. Diggs and Rudolph, in particular, should both see boosts in their targets against Detroit.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is expected to be out against the Lions in Week 14. Thielen suffered the injury at the end of October and will likely miss his fourth straight after failing to log a practice this week. In his absence, expect more looks for Stefon Diggs, Kyle Rudolph, and Alexander Mattison on Sunday.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) was listed as "Doubtful" on Friday's final injury report. He did not practice this week and looks certain to be out for the fifth time this season. Thielen has said that he won't return until he's 100% healthy this time around, so look for an update on his Week 15 status sometime next week. Olabisi Johnson, Laquon Treadwell, Kyle Rudolph, and Irv Smith Jr. will again be the beneficiaries in his absence, but they're all difficult to trust due to volume concerns in a run-heavy offense. Stay tuned for an official confirmation on Thielen's Week 14 availability.
