I think it’s officially time to stop calling Adam Thielen “underrated” and start calling him a top fantasy wideout. The Vikings wideout nearly reached the 100-yard mark twice in the previous three games before his eight-catch, 166-yard performance with a touchdown against Washington last week. The even more reassuring part? He’s been targeted at least 10 times over the last four games and at least eight times in each game this season except for in Week 2 against the Steelers. Sure, Thielen’s matchup against the Rams isn’t great, but he’s still a must-play in Week 11.

Tyreek Hill is also a must-start this week on the road against the Giants, and on the flip side, Sterling Shepard looks to have a very nice game against a surprisingly weak Kansas City pass defense.
Lastly, I’m sure you’ve been aware since the start of the season, but for those of you that base your draft picks on when players have bye weeks: the Buccaneers-Dolphins originally schedule for Week 1 is now this week, when both teams were originally supposed to have their bye week.
