Likely Playing Time Decrease Coming For Adam Thielen

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.

Cooper Kupp a Fringe Flex Option in Week 6

Saturday, October 11, 9:55 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp has only proven to have fantasy value when Seattle's passing game exhibits high volume. Seattle's defense has a solid chance of shutting down the Jaguars' offense in Week 6, which would render Kupp an unnecessary part of the offense. Kupp has earned five or fewer targets in three of his five games this season. He can clearly still get the job done when called upon, but the Seahawks are frankly not calling upon his services often. There are plenty of other players, either on the waiver wire or potentially on your roster, that would be safer bets for consistent production in Week 6. If you need a break-glass option, Kupp could produce if the Jaguars' offense shows up. However, that is an absolute last resort scenario.
