Musters two catches Sunday Thielen reeled in two of six targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 27-22 win against the Jets.

Impact After tallying at least three catches and 30 receiving yards in eight of the Vikings' first nine games of the season, Thielen has fallen short of both thresholds in two of the last three, with the exception a 9-61-1 line on 10 targets during a Thanksgiving Day win versus the Patriots. His snap share (86 percent) was in line with the rest of his outings this season, but the fact he's in an offense with one of the league's top wide receivers in Justin Jefferson appears to have relegated the 32-year-old to TD-dependent status at this point in his career.

Resurgent effort in Week 12 win Thielen secured nine of 10 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 33-26 win over the Patriots on Thursday night.

Impact Thielen tied Justin Jefferson for the team lead in receptions and finished second to his star teammate in receiving yards and targets. The sure-handed veteran wideout's catch total was a season high, and it marked his first time over the 50-yard mark in three games. Thielen's third touchdown of the season, a 15-yard score with 9:34 remaining, also proved to be the difference in the game, making it a highly productive all-around night. Thielen's first opportunity to build on Thursday's performance comes in a Week 13 home matchup against the Jets a week from Sunday.

Vikings eager to work after being exposed by Cowboys

The Minnesota Vikings had their flaws dreadfully exposed in a 40-3 defeat by Dallas

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Quiet game as offense sputters Thielen had two receptions (three targets) for 25 yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Minnesota's entire passing offense was shut down by Dallas, resulting in mediocre stat lines from Thielen and the rest of the starting unit. The veteran slot man was providing serviceable fantasy results prior to this dud, so fantasy managers shouldn't react too heavily to a blowout game script. Thielen will look to turn things around on a short week when the Vikings take on the Patriots on Thursday.

Overshadowed by Jefferson Thielen caught five of seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over Buffalo.

Impact Thielen finished fourth on the team in targets behind Justin Jefferson (16), K.J. Osborn (11) and T.J. Hockenson (10). Jefferson dominated to the tune of 193 yards and one touchdown, but no other Viking reached 50 yards or found the end zone. Thielen's nose for the end zone has been key to his fantasy success in recent years -- he totaled 24 touchdowns over the previous two campaigns -- but he's scored only twice in 2022. Ending a touchdown drought that dates back to Week 6 won't be easy in Week 11 against the tough Dallas defense.

Gets back to full participation Thielen (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Impact Thielen has been included on Vikings injury reports in back-to-back weeks, first due to a knee bruise and this time around with an ankle issue. While he was listed as full all of last week, he opened Week 10 prep with a limited session Wednesday, only to get back to all activity one day later. Now that his status has been cleared up ahead of Sunday's game at Buffalo, Thielen should be good for his 85-plus percent share of the snaps that he receives on a weekly basis.

Dealing with ankle issue Thielen was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Impact Thielen is appearing on the Vikings' practice report as a limited or non-participant for the first time all season. He handled his usual every-down role this past Sunday in a 20-17 win over Washington, catching three of seven targets for 67 yards while playing 94 percent of snaps on offense. He's seen at least seven targets in every game since Week 1, though never more than nine in a contest.

Are Minnesota Vikings legitimate Super Bowl contenders?

Three grabs in win Thielen secured three of seven targets for 67 yards in the Vikings' 20-17 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Impact Thielen checked in third in receiving yards on the afternoon for Minnesota, putting up a higher tally than usual thanks in large part to a 36-yard grab. However, the veteran wideout apparently has some serious competition for targets moving forward in the form of newly acquired T.J. Hockenson, who drew nine looks in his team debut. Thielen will aim to build on his second straight 67-yard effort when he faces a tough Bills defense in a Week 10 road interconference showdown.

Adam Thielen Records 500th Career Reception Minnesota Vikings Latest News

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • VIKINGS.COM

Puts in full practice Wednesday Thielen (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Impact After Sunday's 34-26 win against the Cardinals, Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell relayed that Thielen picked up a bruised knee, which comes as no surprise in a game in which the wide receiver needed to leave for a spell to get examined in the sideline tent. That said, O'Connell also called Thielen "OK" for Week 9, and the receiver's listing on the first injury report of the week confirms as much. Thielen now can turn his focus to Sunday's game at Washington, whose defense ranks in the bottom 10 in the NFL in terms of touchdowns (eight) and yards per target (8.7) allowed to opposing wide receivers this season.
