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.

Darnell Mooney News

Darnell Mooney Limited in Practice Wednesday

Thursday, October 16, 12:48 AM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) was listed as limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Mooney missed Monday night's matchup against the Bills after getting injured in Week 4 against Washington. It's a positive sign to see Mooney listed as limited, but more will be known from the Thursday and Friday practice reports. Mooney has struggled to stay healthy this season, which has limited him to seven catches for 79 yards on 16 targets in three games this season.
