Adam Thielen 2018 Outlook
As CBSSports.com noted, Thielen finished the 2017 regular season on a low note and dealt with a pair of minor back fractures during the playoffs, but he seems to have made good on his stated expectation that he wouldn't have any restrictions during the upcoming offseason. He can now turn his focus toward building chemistry with new QB Kirk Cousins and new OC John DeFilippo, hoping to replicate -- or even exceed -- his 2017 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout finished fifth in the NFL in receiving yards (1,276) and eighth in receptions (91), but his touchdowns (four), yards per target (8.9) and catch rate (63.6 percent) all dropped off a bit from his breakout 2016 campaign. Thielen remains one of the league's most valuable inside and outside receivers although he worked mostly in the slot this past season. As Bleacher Report's Doug Farrar notes, Thielen has the speed to win on vertical boundary routes, he understands how to use his size and physicality to gain an advantage on contested catches and his increased understanding of the value of leverage in route running became clear in 2017. Assuming the extra work he puts in with Cousins (along with fellow wideout Stefon Diggs) pays off, expecting another strong season seems reasonable.

Adam Thielen 2017 Outlook
The Vikings and Thielen reached an agreement on a three-year deal over the offseason to keep the restricted free-agent wideout in Minnesota. It's not hard to see why. After a breakout 2016 season, Thielen was hoping to remain a Viking, but... "At the same time, I want to be respected and for what I've done," he said as free agency began. "I feel like I've proven that I can be a starter in this league, and I want to be respected in that way." Apparently the Vikings agreed, giving him $17 million ($11 million guaranteed) and a potential value of $27 million with incentives. Remember, Thielen impressed Vikings coaches and scouts enough to land on the practice squad as a rookie in 2013, stood out on special teams the following year once he made the active roster and improved so steadily as a wide receiver that he became a full-time starter last season. Thielen caught 69 passes for 967 yards and five touchdowns for an offense that ranked fifth-worst in the league in total yards. He is the team's second-best receiver behind Diggs and merits a roster spot in redraft leagues. He could wind up cracking your starting lineup if he continues to progress.
