Adam Thielen stepped up big for the Minnesota Vikings while top receiver Stefon Diggs was sidelined with a groin injury in Week 6. Thielen caught nine passes for 97 yards in the win over the Green Bay Packers Sunday. He was targeted a season-high 13 times in the contest. Thielen leads the Vikings with 53 targets, 38 receptions, and 489 yards receiving, but he does not have a touchdown this season.
Fantasy football start/sit advice Week 7: What to do with Adam Thielen Sunday

Sunday, the Vikings host a stingy Baltimore Ravens secondary. The Ravens have the ninth-ranked passing defense, and they have nine interceptions, a tie for second best in the NFL.
Fantasy impact: Thielen would be a top receiver if he could score. Regardless, he is Case Keenum’s top target and with Diggs on the sideline, he has a high ceiling this week. The Ravens defense is tough, but it is weakest inside. Thielen should be able to gash them in the slot. Couple that with a high target count, and he should have another strong fantasy week.
