Adam Thielen out, Dalvin Cook questionable for Thursday Night Football

Dec 08, 2021

Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) will not play Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is questionable.

Fantasy Impact:

The short week was going to keep Thielen out. While Obsorn is expected to start in Thielen's place, do not be surprised if Tyler Conklin gets more run.

Per Mike Macdonald, DK Metcalf won't practice for Seahawks today, but he's optimistic receiver will have a shot to practice tomorrow.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tyler Lockett

Fantasy Impact:

This is a tough matchup against the Rams' secondary, but there's also a chance for a shootout not that L.A.'s pass-catchers are back to health. JSN remains an interesting Flex play, while Lockett can't be trusted at this point.

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for the Saints as they try to claw their way back into playoff talks. This would be great for Chris Olave, who has a very cushy matchup against the Panthers secondary this week.
