Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or Wan'Dale Robinson

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.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson had a monster game in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, catching eight of 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown. Robinson has always been a consistent target-earner, but he's typically struggled to be efficient from a yardage perspective (career 8.7 yards per reception). It's been a different story so far in 2025, with Robinson averaging 14.1 yards per reception for a total of 197 yards and a touchdown on 14 catches. It could be a one-game blip, but Robinson is a potential breakout player to monitor who still offers a relatively stable floor in PPR-scoring even if he regresses to career norms. Where available, Robinson should be added in all PPR leagues with 10 or more teams.
