Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Skyy Moore

Friday, September 12, 5:25 PM

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.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Skyy Moore stands little chance of making an impact in Week 2, despite the injury bug biting key players on offense. Even though tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is on injured reserve and wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, veterans Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kendrick Bourne stand in Moore's way on the depth chart. Moore played just three snaps in Week 1, and even if he does see a greater run on Sunday, the offense will be helmed by Mac Jones and not Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder), who has been ruled out. Moore's only path to fantasy relevance is in leagues that count return yards. Last week against Seattle, he fielded one kickoff and four punts, totaling 63 return yards.
