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.

Updating previous reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was officially listed as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday, according to the team's website. Godwin wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media, but he did get onto the field later in the day, perhaps giving him a chance to play this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills for the first time since injuring his fibula in Week 5. The 29-year-old appears to be making progress, but head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that he didn't expect Godwin to play in Week 11. Both Godwin and running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) were limited, but it doesn't mean they'll be available versus the Bills. Tampa is taking a cautious approach with Godwin, who suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 7 of last year. Don't be surprised if he's not back until the calendar flips to December.
