Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 5
START ‘EM
Vikings. Adam Thielen. 3. player. 60. Projected Points: 5.8. Wide Receiver
Adam Thielen has been one of the more interesting players to watch in fantasy football this year. The Vikings are a bit handicapped with Case Keenum quarterbacking the offense, but they’re still getting the ball to their receivers, and for Thielen owners, that’s a good thing.
Thielen hasn’t found the end zone yet, but he’ll be going up against a pretty lousy Bears secondary in week five. This match-up definitely favors Thielen, even if he’s catching passes from Keenum.
The Bears secondary allowed Jordy Nelson to grab four passes for 75 yards and two touchdowns and let Randall Cobb and Davante Adams both find the end zone. They did not have a good performance against the Packers when it came to keeping them from scoring and the same should apply for this week.
Thielen is probably still available in some leagues, so if you need a receiver due to someone being on a bye, he’s a decent pick up for week five.
