- Burning fantasy football question for the Minnesota Vikings. Which wide receiver would you rather have at ADP, Justin Jefferson or Adam Thielen? Well, welcome to Cop-Out City, population me, because I'm taking both where they're going in drafts right now. Look, Justin Jefferson, after the best rookie season we've seen since Odell Beckham in 2014, legitimately elite. He's ready to join the game's best at the position. If you think he's not that guy, you're being a contrarian just to be a contrarian, and life is really too short for that.

He is properly priced where he's going right now, but Adam Thielen, when I went back and watched this guy last year, honestly, folks are out there thinking he might be close to cooked. I don't think so. I think Thielen right now, he's one of the best, rock-solid, number-two receivers in the NFL.

Yes, Justin Jefferson took over for Stefon Diggs as a true number one of this offense. But Thielen is still very good. He's still out there getting it done. The touchdown total is not a mirage. I think you always want to take guys from these offenses where you can project two wide receivers for almost 45% of the team total targets. That's certainly the case in Minnesota this year. I love Thielen where he's going. I'm not hesitant at all at ADP. This is a guy I definitely want to draft in 2021.
