Sadly, now that we are all on the bandwagon, he's due for a turkey tomorrow. Hope I am wrong!

I understand what you are saying...a regression to the mean...I mean / you mean, there is no way Thielen can do this every week!?! He's due for a let down. We're due too?
Now, what if he kept up this rampant pace 5-6 catches for 60-70 yards as his floor? TD's, who knows?
This kid can ball! He can play! He's pretty good!

At this point I want Keenum to stay in the lineup.

Unbelievable what a confluence of luck and talent are needed if you're not recruited or slip through the cracks. This guy paid his own way.
Nice story.

Playbook: Baldinger on Keenum's Day vs. Detroit
This is only a couple of Theilens receptions, but you see that they are getting him matched up against LB Whitehead, likely the best possible match up against the Lions back seven defenders. Another one they isolate Theilen one on one against DJ Hayden, the Lions 4th cornerback.

My biggest fantasy regret was trading this guy away last year and I knew it at the time. I was trying to win though and needed help elsewhere*.
*I didn't
Oh, he came at a 12th round cost as a keeper.

Loved him last year, got worried about the price tag and chemistry with Cousins... boy was I wrong. Glad to have him in my dynasty leagues but damn am I crying about redraft. Thielen is a bonafide stud at this point.

This is me as well. I traded him away in a 4 player keeper league for draft picks (had too many keepers) - guess which team I am playing this week

I traded him and Ryan for Cousins and Diggs. That's how much I hated Ryan last year. Oh well, at least he'll be back in the draft pool in 2020...

I did something similar with Lev Bell the year he was hurt and had the dope stuff hanging over his head. I had to leave that league because I couldn't get over it.This is me as well.

Cousins has a big arm! He'll be peppering Diggs downfield!! Thielen will just be there to move the sticks! /some idiot*

Mostly because there's nothing left to say about this kids game. Outstanding hands, perfect route-runner, elusive speed and quickness. I'm sure he donates to charities and fosters between 5 and 10 children too.love that this turned into a ##### fest.

Have him in every league but one. And I can't even trade for him in that league. A beast

I was curious what I traded away to get him last year during week 11. It was a 1st and a 5th in my 16-team PPR dynasty league. Ended up being Anthony Miller and Eric Ebron. I think I did alright with that trade.

Had him since his rookie year on my taxi squad. Worked with his dad’s cousin and we would talk about his progress on the team working his way up from the taxi squad. One of my favorite players in the league. This guy to me is the second coming of Cris Carter. Great routes, hands, and work ethic. Skol Adam!

Thielen has 56 targets through 4 games...only 6 WRs have hit 200 targets since the merger. Do you guys think he can continue this pace? Is Theilen a BUY HIGH for a possible historic season or is his opportunity coming down and he's a SELL HIGH?

Buy high.

I have no reason to believe that he can't keep this up. He looks like Cousins go to for sure.
Milkman

He's a top 5ish WR bro. Nobody wants to believe it because he was an UDFA that didn't even get invited to the combine. He has better numbers than Julio Jones over the last 21-22 games.
Charlie Harper

He had 142 targets last year with Diggs missing 2 games and so far Cook has yet to be fully utilized.
The only difference this year is Cousins. I'm a believer in Thielen...but we're talking a historic season possibly.
Steeler
Footballguy
Man was I wrong on this guy this year! He's a great player but I thought there was no way we would approach the 142 targets again - I was obviously WAY off base. I traded him for draft picks before the season in a 4 player keeper league 
Anyway, you guys enjoy, I'll show my self out.

I missed on this guy as well. Kept trying to convince myself that Diggs would be the guy and Treadwell would progress. Thielen is pure stud.
