| Sablich Brothers 5th Down Fantasy | Despite breakout season, still behind Diggs and Rudolph on Bradford's target list. | |
| Chet Gresham WalterFootball | Thielen proved to be a consistent fantasy player last season and should be a top target in the Vikings' offense once again. | |
| Staff Rankings QB List | It wouldn't be shocking to see Thielen overtake Stefon Diggs as the number one passing option in the Vikings offense, especially since he saw just 20 fewer targets than Diggs last year but finished with more yards. Sam Bradford isn't a great quarterback, but he's had a full year in the Vikings offense, he should be better prepared this year than he was once he was thrown into the team last year, and with that will come an increase in production for Thielen I believe. | |
| Bobby Sylvester FantasyPros | Thielen notched 69 receptions and nearly 1,000 yards last year despite starting only 10 games. It is clear that he and Sam Bradford have a connection, which should be trusted heading into this season. While Diggs is technically the #1 for Minnesota, it is quite possible Thielen ends up leading the Vikings in receiving again. | |
| Chet Gresham WalterFootball | Thielen proved to be a consistent fantasy player last season and should be a top target in the Vikings' offense once again. | |
| Corey Parson RotoExperts | Thielen popped in the second half of the season in 2016. He could very well take over as the top option in the passing game in 2017. Auction Value $9 | The Panthers' rookie wide receiver will compete for targets from Cam Newton. Samuel is a nice sleeper option. Auction Value $1 |
| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | Despite the fact that I'm a huge Stefon Diggs fan, one cannot escape the fact that Thielen saw 20 fewer targets, yet finished with 64 more yards and two more touchdowns. Once Diggs moved into the slot, Thielen started to do most of his damage, including his 202-yard, two touchdown performance in Week 16 against the Packers. He's still got a lot to prove, but 2016 was incredibly promising for the former undrafted free agent. | |
| Kevin Wheeler NFL Mock | He showed flashes of greatness, but he isn't consistent enough to start on a regular basis. He has his best games when Diggs is out. Big contract was just signed so they plan on using him a bunch, I've moved him way up. | |
