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 Rome Odunze has cooled off over the past two weeks, but he remains on track for a strong season. Through six games, the second-year wideout has caught 24 of 46 targets for 359 yards and five touchdowns, ranking as the WR12 on a per-game basis. Odunze's recent struggles can be attributed to a mix of poor weather and bad luck. Still, a bounce-back opportunity looms in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens, who have surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. The Ravens also run man coverage at the fourth-highest rate in the league, which is where Odunze has consistently thrived. Expect Odunze to get back on track this week, offering high-end WR2 upside in a favorable matchup.
