Adam Thielen Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught eight passes for 72 yards in the 28-25 victory over the Saints in Week 4. Thielen was the clear No. 2 option in the passing game, as he was second to Justin Jefferson's 14 targets with nine of his own. Moving forward, Thielen looks like a low-end WR2 option because of his prominent role in the Minnesota offense. He'll look to build on a solid performance in Week 5 against an exploitable Bears defense.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will look to build on a strong performance from Week 3 into the team's Week 4 matchup with the Saints. The veteran caught six of eight targets for 61 yards and a touchdown last week, as he has seen 15 targets in his past two games. Thielen doesn't figure to keep out-targeting Justin Jefferson, but fantasy managers can still expect a sizeable role and high-value targets in the red zone for the 32-year-old. He can be valued as a borderline WR2/FLEX option in Week 4.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver caught six passes for 61 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 3 victory over the Lions. Thielen was targeted eight times, as that was tied for the team lead with K.J. Osborn. Thielen has proven to be one of the best red zone threats in the league over the past couple of seasons, which will firmly put him in the WR2/FLEX discussion moving forward. The veteran will look to build on a strong performance next week against the Saints.
