Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Chris Godwin

Friday, September 26, 4:50 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen should be kept out of starting lineups when his team takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Ireland. Now that receiver Jordan Addison (suspension) is back in the fold, Thielen is likely to see a significant decrease in snaps. Even with high snap rates in the first three weeks, Thielen caught a meager two passes. At this point, it's fair to wonder if he'll earn more snaps or targets than fellow receiver Jalen Nailor, to say nothing of Addison, top receiver Justin Jefferson, and tight end T.J. Hockenson. Given his lack of production and his situation on the depth chart, Thielen can be sent to waiver wires in standard redraft leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Godwin returned in Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams for the first time since suffering a fractured fibula in Week 5, but he's still being limited in practice as a precaution. In his first game back, Godwin played only 36% of the offensive snaps and caught two of four targets for nine yards. The 29-year-old shouldn't be in any real danger of missing this Sunday's Week 13 contest against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, and he should see more playing time in his second game back. However, Godwin should be viewed as more of a WR4/5 for fantasy purposes as he gets his legs underneath him, and he'll be a receiver to fade for a second straight week if quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is unable to play.
