Week 5 fantasy football FLEX ranks: Adam Thielen gets a juicy get-right spot

It’s no surprise that the Vikings have become a run-first, second, and third offense, but judging by the first three weeks of the season, it looked like Adam Thielen would be safe from the new philosophy (unlike Stefon Diggs). That came to a head in Week 4, when Thielen caught just 2-of-6 targets for a measly six yards against the tough Bears defense.

Thielen voiced his frustrations about the passing game (comments he’s since seemingly walked back) but if there was ever a time for the Vikings to throw more, it’s in Week 5 against the extremely weak Giants secondary.
