Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Travis Hunter

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter could have a breakout game against the Los Angeles Rams during their visit to London. After a quiet start to the season, Liam Coen stated to the press the gameplan would be to get Hunter more involved on offense this week. That is music to the ears of fantasy managers who drafted the talented rookie high. In limited action, the two-way phenom has showed flashes of talent while getting acclimated to both sides of the ball in the NFL. On the other hand, this could just be coach speak, so fantasy managers shouldn't get too hasty. Bold managers in need of an upside play should feel good about starting Hunter in Week 7.
