Read Adam Thielen's fantasy football outlook for Week 6 of the NFL season. Notes, updates, analysis and advice including predictions for his upcoming matchup.
Thielen has been very disappointing to start the season, and that could easily continue into Week 6 against the Panthers. As mentioned above, Cousins is likely in for a dud performance as well, so there will likely be a trickle-down effect into one, if not both Vikings’ receivers. Thielen seems like the obvious choice if choosing to bench one of Cousins’ pass-catchers, as he has surpassed 50 receiving yards just once this season all the way back in Week 1. Yes, Thielen has had a nose for the end zone in the past couple of seasons, but still, he has the look of an untrustworthy option moving forward.
Justin Jefferson is clearly the No. 1 wide receiver now, that should be obvious at this point. The Panthers have given up the fewest receptions this season, which is not a good match with the Vikings' run-heavy scheme, especially for the clear No. 2 receiver in the offense. With just five receptions in his past two games, the 31-year-old is a low-end WR2 at best on Sunday. He will likely need to score a touchdown to have any sort of noteworthy production, as it would be surprising to see him stuff the stat sheet in the reception and yards categories. Sure, he could find the end zone in this game. But, fantasy managers should likely look elsewhere for a WR2 option if he needs to rely on a touchdown to salvage his fantasy production on a weekly basis.
