Best Pick: Adam Thielen
"Hooked on a Thielen! Wheelin' and Thielen! Thielen 'em Softly!" Whatever Chris Berman-ism you'd like to use is fine.
Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen broke out in 2016, finishing as the 28th-best fantasy receiver. His most impressive trait was catching the deep ball.
Thielen is best remembered for his heroics on Christmas Eve last season, when he posted 12 receptions for 202 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. That performance likely decided many fantasy football playoff matchups.
Now, Thielen isn't Julio Jones, but that flash did show what kind of upside he possesses, and at WR43, that's rare to find. In fact, his current ADP is WR49 in standard leagues.
Thielen definitely deserves more respect and is shaping up to be a quality late-round option at receiver.
