Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Jerry Jeudy

Tuesday, December 2, 4:30 PM

Former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was claimed off waivers by the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The 35-year-old was traded to Minnesota from the Carolina Panthers before the start of the regular season, but things didn't pan out in his return to Minnesota, as he was ultimately released following Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks after being a healthy inactive for the first time this season in Week 13. Thielen recorded just eight receptions for 69 yards on 18 targets in 11 games with the Vikings, but he now lands with a Steelers team that needs help at the wide receiver position. D.K. Metcalf leads Pittsburgh with 605 receiving yards, but no other Pittsburgh pass-catcher is above 300 yards. Thielen could immediately slot in as the No. 2 wide receiver, but he isn't worth fantasy consideration at this time, outside of deeper leagues.

Across 12 games this season, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has recorded 35 catches for 421 yards and one touchdown on 80 targets. The 26-year-old hasn't been much better in two games since Shedeur Sanders took over as Cleveland's starting quarterback, recording four catches for 65 yards on seven targets over the last two weeks. In Week 14, Jeudy and the Browns will take on the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee enters the week ranked 31st among NFL defenses in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9). However, the Titans are a more respectable 19th in total passing yards allowed (2,832). The Browns could look to lean on their defense and run game in Week 14, which would be a negative for Jeudy's production upside. He profiles as a low-end WR4/deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in Week 14.
