The Minnesota Vikings (3-2) will host the Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) in Week 7. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Adam Thielen.
Is Adam Thielen Playing in Week 7?
Thielen is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Vikings’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Adam Thielen in Week 7?
Adam Thielen was traded to the Vikings to add something to their locker room and maybe a little on-field production early while Jordan Addison was suspended.
Well, the latter is over and the former is nice for this team, but meaningless to us. The veteran receiver wasn’t targeted on any of his 11 routes in Week 5 against the Browns prior to the bye and has played under 22% of the offensive snaps since Addison returned.
Thielen is on fantasy rosters for one reason right now, and it’s because his name is known. Don’t make that mistake. There are a dozen players on your waiver wire right now that offer a more favorable range of outcomes moving forward.
