Adam Thielen is doing things even Hall of Famers Cris Carter
and Randy Moss didn't accomplish in Minnesota.The former undrafted wide receiver
from NCAA Division II Minnesota State is the first player in NFL history with at
least 100 yards receiving in eight straight games to start the season. Calvin
Johnson also had an eight-game streak in 2012.Thielen already has 74
catches Womens
Austin Carr Jersey , putting him on pace to break Marvin Harrison's
single-season record of 143. Carter holds the Vikings record with 122 catches in
1994 and 1995. Thielen has 952 yards receiving. At this rate, he'd break Moss'
team record in 14 games. Moss had 1,632 in 2003. Johnson holds the NFL record
with 1,964 yards receiving.Thielen also has a touchdown catch in five
consecutive games. No players since 1970 has 100 yards receiving and a TD catch
in six straight games.Thielen is closing in on becoming the sixth undrafted
player with back-to-back seasons of 80 catches and 1,000 yards.Here's a look
inside more numbers going into Week 9:KING ADAM: Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri
became the NFL's all-time scoring leader, surpassing Hall of Famer Morten
Anderson. Vinatieri has scored 2,550 total points during his 23-year NFL
career.AGELESS AP: Adrian Peterson became the oldest player, at 33 years and 221
days old, to rush for more than 100 yards and also have a rushing and receiving
touchdown in Washington's win over the Giants. Peterson is also only the fourth
player age 33 or older to have 140-plus yards rushing in a game.MAHOMES MASTERY:
Patrick Mahomes has thrown four touchdown passes in three consecutive games for
Kansas City, joining Drew Brees (2011), Dan Marino (1984) and Peyton Manning
(2004) as the only quarterbacks to do that. Marino's streak was four games.
Manning's was five. Mahomes also has passed for 300 yards in seven straight
games. Only Andrew Luck (2014) and Brees (2011) have done that. Luck reached
eight games.ELITE COMPANY: Carson Wentz is the second quarterback in NFL history
with at least 30 pass attempts and a passer rating of at least 115 in four
consecutive games Youth
Marcus Williams Jersey , joining Peyton Manning, who did it with
Denver in 2012.PERFECTION: Russell Wilson was 14 of 17 for 248 yards with three
touchdowns and zero interceptions in Seattle's win at Detroit, becoming the
first quarterback in franchise history to post a perfect 158.3 passer rating.
Rams QB Jared Goff also had a perfect rating in Week 4 this season.4 daily
fantasy players from the Saints and Buccaneers matchup If you’re a daily fantasy
player, before each game I will look at three/four players from the New Orleans
Saints and their opponent’s rosters that I would target in daily fantasy (based
off their value and potential results). Obviously, Saints QB Drew Brees is a
safe QB for daily fantasy leagues, but spending your money on a top-tier
starting QB leaves you scraping the barrel to fill out the rest of your roster.
So here are three Saints and one Buc that provide the most bang for your buck.
(Values from Fanduel.)WR Michael Thomas (NO) - $8,500Thomas doesn’t come cheap,
coming in only $500 cheaper than the most expensive WR available for daily
fantasy. Even still, he’s absolutely worth it. He’s Drew Brees’s go-to, #1
target in the pass game, and with the running game stealing Alvin Kamara as a
potential receiving option Womens
Sheldon Rankins Jersey , look for the Saints to lean on Thomas even
more. Gone are Willie Snead, Brandon Coleman, and Coby Fleener. Tre’Quan Smith
is a rookie. Ted Ginn and Benjmain Watson are ancient. Thomas is a star.WR Mike
Evans (TB) - $7,700Yes, Mike Evans will likely have lockdown corner Marshon
Lattimore shadowing him the entire game, but last season, Ryan Fitzpatrick shows
that he likes to lean on Evans in the same way Brees can lean on Thomas. At
$1,300 cheaper than the most expensive WR available, even if it’s just in
garbage time, Evans should have a decent game.TE Benjamin Watson (NO) -
$4,900Most people who follow my writing know that I’m not very high on Ben
Watson. He turns 38 this season Womens
Vonn Bell Jersey , two years older than the recently-retired Jason
Witten. But, with Mark Ingram out for the first four games of the season, in
goal-to-go situations, Watson could be one of Brees first reads to punch it into
the end zone. He’s just incredible value here, a whopping $3,000 cheaper than
the most expensive TE available.Saints DST (vs TB) - $4,600Gone are the days of
the Saints DST being a laughing stock of the NFL. They have a young and talented
core that is ready to make stops, force turnovers, and pose for the camera.
Facing a Tampa Bay team that will be without Jameis Winston and has a
less-than-stellar running game, the Saints defense is a sneaky play in daily
fantasy this week.My full daily fantasy lineup this week: QB Andrew Luck (IND) -
