Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Michael Wilson

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.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has held a consistent role as the team's WR2 behind Marvin Harrison Jr. in the offense this season. Wilson has emerged more recently, catching 10 of his 13 targets for 145 yards over the past three games with Jacoby Brissett as the starter in place of an injured Kyler Murray (foot). The 25-year-old trails only Harrison and star tight end Trey McBride with a 75.9% route share this season. Those three are the only Cardinals above 75%, with Zay Jones the next closest at 56.8%. Wilson doesn't have the most upside as clearly the third target behind McBride and Harrison, but he presents WR4 value for Week 10 against the Seahawks.
