Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Keon Coleman

Sunday, August 31, 2:54 PM

Recently traded wide receiver Adam Thielen could start right away for the Minnesota Vikings, according to an article from ESPN's Kevin Seifert. The Vikings saw good news Sunday with a report that Jalen Nailor (hand) is progressing toward playing in Week 1, but still could turn to the veteran to start when the season begins. Thielen just arrived in Minnesota, but isn't the typical 11th-hour acquisition given that he played in Kevin O'Connell's offense in 2022 and worked out with quarterback J.J. McCarthy this summer. Fantasy-wise, he'll have his most appeal in the early weeks before Jordan Addison (suspension) returns to the lineup.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (groin) was listed as limited in the team's first official practice on Wedneday heading into a Week 1 showdown on Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Coleman should be good to go for Sunday evening's tilt, but he'll have two more days to get in a full practice. Fellow wideout Khalil Shakir (ankle) practiced in full, so quarterback Josh Allen should have his top two receivers available. Coleman, who was a second-rounder last year out of Florida State, played in only 13 games in the regular season in his rookie year due to injuries and finished with a 29-556-4 line. He was inconsistent, but he has showns signs this summer of taking on an elevated role in Year 2. Still, with Joshua Palmer now in the fold in an offense that spreads the ball around, Coleman should be considered a WR4/flex for fantasy against Baltimore in Week 1.
