Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Adam Thielen

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has wasted no time making his mark in 2025, highlighted by an eight-catch, 142-yard, one-touchdown performance against the Cowboys in Week 2. Quarterback Russell Wilson has been quick to praise the 24-year-old, calling him a "superstar" and noting, "He's like a quarterback out there playing receiver... he's got a great feel for the game... he reminds me a lot of Tyler Lockett." Robinson has drawn 18 targets over the first two weeks and forms a dangerous tandem with Malik Nabers, creating consistent one-on-one opportunities for both receivers. After posting 93 receptions last season, Robinson is now showing far more explosiveness, with his yards per reception jumping from 7.5 to 14.1. With increased usage and Wilson's trust, Robinson is a must-roster fantasy option across all formats.

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.
