Adam Thielen 2022 Outlook
Injuries held back Thielen in 2021, but he remains as reliable a receiver as there is in the league when healthy. In fact, he's not without upside even as he begins to show signs of aging (Thielen will be 32 by the time the regular season starts). Even with Justin Jefferson solidifying his spot as the Vikings' WR1 last year, Thielen held his own early in the season. As ESPN.com notes, the veteran receiver had 63 catches, 686 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns through his first 11 games and sat seventh at the position in fantasy points, trailing Jefferson by only 14 points. Thielen went down with an injury in Week 13 but not before he continued his scoring dominance. Remember: Thielen has a whopping 24 TDs on 202 targets over the last two seasons. Reasons for optimism this year? A new, offensive-minded coaching staff led by former Rams coordinator Kevin O'Connell. As for his health? The 10-year vet said he put in ample work this offseason to get his body back to a good spot. "I'm probably feeling the lightest I've ever felt," Thielen said. "I'm excited about the way I feel coming off an injury, coming off a surgery. I feel great, I'm excited to get back in here and just compete again and play football." Don't be afraid to invest when the price is right; a late WR3 pick seems reasonable.

Adam Thielen 2021 Outlook
As Fansided.com recently noted, Thielen has turned out to be one of the best players to suit up for Minnesota in a long time. But he turns 31 years old in August, and it's safe to say Justin Jefferson is now the team's top downfield weapon. That said, Thielen still finished last season with an impressive 14 touchdown catches. That's obviously a bonus, but one that's difficult to predict from a fantasy perspective. As FantasyPros.com notes, Thielen scored a touchdown every 7.7 targets in 2020, which was the eighth-best ratio over the last 10 years. Even if he remains a primary weapon in the red zone, expecting him to continue scoring at that pace is a reach. In addition, the veteran hasn't ended a year with 1,000 receiving yards since 2018. With Dalvin Cook locked in as the Vikings’ dominant offensive weapon (the offense is unlikely to change under Klint Kubiak), Jefferson an ascendant talent and Irv Smith Jr. appearing to be on the verge of a breakout, it's fair to question how Thielen's role plays out this year. All that said, fantasy managers shouldn't be afraid to take a shot here if value dictates.

Adam Thielen 2020 Outlook
As ESPN's Matthew Berry noted, Thielen dealt with injuries last season, but still was one of the best wide receivers in football and now, with Stefon Diggs in Buffalo, he should get an incredible target share from Kirk Cousins. The Vikings did draft Justin Jefferson and added Tajae Sharpe via free agency, but Berry is adamant that the passing offense for Minnesota will run through Thielen. ESPN's Mike Clay backs that contention, noting that Thielen has played at least 80 percent of the Vikings snaps in 18 games in 2017, 16 games in 2018 and nine games in 2019; his target share was right at 26 percent during each of those stretches. Now with Diggs gone, Clay believes Thielen is positioned for a huge role and is a great "post-hype" target in 2020. Worth noting, for his career, when Thielen gets at least nine targets, he averages 22.8 fantasy points per game (last season, Michael Thomas was the only WR to average more than 20 points per game). Also, as FantasyPros pointed out, there were five wide receivers who scored a touchdown more often than once every 10.0 targets in 2019: Mecole Hardman (6.8), Thielen (8.0), Sharpe (8.8), Kendrick Bourne (8.8) and Willie Snead (9.0). Thielen is yet another later pick with WR1 upside.
