Adam Thielen No Longer On Injury Report
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (thigh) is not listed on the team's official injury report on Wednesday ahead of their Week 1 season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Thielen suffered a thigh bruise in the preseason and didn't take part in the preseason finale, but it was a minor issue and the Vikings were just taking precaution. Thielen was overshadowed by impressive rookie Justin Jefferson last year and saw only 108 targets from Kirk Cousins as a result. But the 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher is still plenty useful in fantasy, thanks to his 20 red-zone targets (third in the league). It led to 14 touchdown catches, good for third in the league. Thielen isn't a deep threat, but he should once again be a solid red-zone option thanks to his precise route-running and great hands. He's a solid WR2 target to kick off the season against Cincy.
