Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Malachi Corley

Starting Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen on Sunday would be a bet that he can recapture the magic in his first game back in Minnesota since being reacquired in a trade with Carolina, albeit one that comes with heavy risk. The Minnesota offense was brutal for three quarters in Week 1, though the Vikings did mount a dramatic comeback and go to the veteran for a key two-point conversion in the fourth quarter. However, Thielen played 57% of offensive snaps and drew only one target, which he dropped. Thielen figures to improve on the number of targets in Week 2, especially with Jordan Addison (suspension) still out, but he'll likely be in a secondary role and still attached to a first-time starter at quarterback. He should be saved for deeper formats only.

Wide receiver Malachi Corley is signing with the Cleveland Browns, according to a report from Adam Schefter. The second-year pro appeared in nine games for the New York Jets as a rookie, mostly as a special teams player, but failed to make the club this year. Corley will join the Browns' practice squad to begin the season, but could work his way onto the active roster at some point this season due the club's lack of depth at the position.
