Laquon Treadwell to start in place of Stefon Diggs (knee) for Vikings

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is expected to start in place of the injured Stefon Diggs (knee) on Thursday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

What It Means:

Diggs hasn't been officially ruled out yet, but it's looking overwhelmingly likely that he doesn't play at this point. While Treadwell is jumping in as a starter, fantasy owners are better served to look towards Adam Thielen or Cordarrelle Patterson as the players getting the biggest boost from Diggs' absence.

Our models have Thielen as the top-scoring Vikings wideout this week, projecting him for 4 receptions, 61 yards and 0.5 touchdowns.
