SportsBrain 304 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 One more thing- you say you value him similar to Terry last year. Terry had a 16 game pace of 66/1050/8 last year, which yes if you could have at at your WR3 would be wonderful in theory, but that is well within WR2 range on paper.

Fantasy Gooroo 1,434 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Vikings had no business giving a 30 year old wide out an end around. I think it revealed something about Jefferson. The kid is absolutely legit. You have to keep Adam happy but the truth is, Jefferson is probably far more gifted and talented a receiver. When teams start going out of their way to maufacture touches for the veteran receiver, you know the kid is pushing the issue. Not saying Thielen is done, but he is no longer the most talented wideout on the team. The only thing standing in the way of a HUGE season is Thielen's longevity. They will do what they can to keep the vet happy so expect lots of forced targets. But I can't help but believe it feels different throwing it up to JJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting to note for sure tho. Honestly, I'd prefer that Thielen stays healthy and dangerous. If Thielen goes down who's even a threat from MIN? It'd just be CB1s and double teams all year for our boy JJ if Thielen goes down, so here's to Adam having a long, healthy, decoy-like season hahaa 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jjbooda 321 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I am hoping Adam can coexist with Justin like he did with Diggs. They help each other. Less doubles for Adam and number 2’s on Justin. A win win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EaglesRocker97 210 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Has he been primarily playing from the slot, or are they putting him on the outside frequently? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, he came in as a slot 'specialist' .. maybe not specialist but that's what he did, and it fit his game. Super solid route running, not necessarily super athletic or flashy, not consistent separater, but knew how to get open enough to get the ball and rarely dropped it. And now here he is burning people and catching contested deep balls. Averaging like 20 YPR or something. You gotta love it. If he can do THAT and what he demonstrated mastery of at LSU, the sky is the limit. He's a buy high IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JacobThunder15 320 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Starting him over Diontae Johnson this week trusting he makes plays, but I really dont want to put my faith in Kirk Cousins. Hoping for a big week with this over/under. High end WR2 with upside! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same. And same. I'm going with Jefferson over both Lamb and Boyd this week because I just cannot leave this matchup on my bench after what he did the last 2 weeks. Hoping for something in the 6/130/1 neighborhood. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JJ is a playmaker and I’m excited to see what he does in this game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fantasy Gooroo 1,434 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) Have to believe Cousins is feeling A LOT more confident knowing he has two EXCELLENT options at wide receiver. One of those options doesn't require perfect ball placement either. The other is a master at getting open. Win win. Edited October 11, 2020 by Fantasy Gooroo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
