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

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.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson caught just four of nine targets for 36 yards last week against the Green Bay Packers with Jameis Winston filling in for an injured Jaxson Dart (concussion). Robinson has racked up the volume recently as the Giants' primary target in the passing game. Since Week 7, his 44 targets only trail Nico Collins, Justin. Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and is averaging 11.3 PPR points per game. Darius Slayton will return in Week 12 after missing last week due to a hamstring injury, so the targets may not be as consolidated on Robinson on Sunday. The 24-year-old Robinson still projects as a strong play on Sunday against the Lions, with the game tied for the second-highest projected total on the slate (50.5), setting up a potential shootout. Robinson ranks as RotoBaller's WR21 in PPR formats for Week 12.
