Adam Thielen doubtful for Sunday

Dec 06, 2019

Vikings WR Adam Thielen is doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

That short return back in Week 9 has really cost Thielen, as he’s set to miss yet another game after suffering the hamstring injury very early in that game against the Chiefs. The offense shouldn’t have much of an issue Sunday however against a Lions defense that has crumbled before our eyes. Kirk Cousins should have a solid game, especially considering it’s against a bad team.

Giants released WR Golden Tate, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Last year wasn't the best for Golden Tate, who put up a 35-388-2 line for the Giants in 12 games. The 32-year old will look to get a gig with another NFL team, most likely a one-year deal.

Saints release TEs Jared Cook and Josh Hill

The Saints have officially released TE Jared Cook and TE Josh Hill. The Cook move is procedural, as he was scheduled to be a free agent at the start of the new league year.

Fantasy Impact:

Jared Cook will be 34 at the start of the 2021 season and may have some trouble finding a starting gig, but does still have some playmaking abilities. Josh Hill could find work in the blocking department for a team this season, after spending all his eight-year career with the Saints. For now, Adam Trautman assumes the starting role in New Orleans at TE.

Tyrell Williams signs with Lions

Free agent WR Tyrell Williams has signed a one-year, $6.2 million deal with the Detroit Lions. Williams was recently released by the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact:

With the Lions wide receiver room in flux, the addition of Williams gives the Lions at least one proven wideout heading into free agency and before the Franchise Tag window closes. Despite a reduction in production each of the past four seasons he has played, the veteran increased his catch percentage and yards per target over that same time period. The Lions as an offense are difficult to get excited about so far this offseason, but there is still time for the new regime to make the team competitive and Williams trustworthy in fantasy.
