Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or DJ Moore

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.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore left the stadium after Monday's game in an ambulance and was taken to a local area hospital for what the team is calling "precautionary medical evaluation." He will remain in the area overnight, per the team. He caught three of his five targets for 42 yards in his team's win and was on the field for the final game-winning drive. Exactly what the injury or illness is that caused the need for the hospitalization is unclear at this point, or if it will impact his availability going forward. Stay tuned for updates on Moore as the Bears are on a short week, hosting the Saints in Week 7 on Sunday afternoon. If Moore is unavailable, more work would potentially be available for Olamide Zaccheaus and rookie receiver Luther Burden III.
