Vikings put Adam Thielen on COVID-19 list
The Minnesota Vikings placed wide receiver Adam Thielen on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
Thielen either tested positive for the virus himself or came into close contact with someone who did. He will have to quarantine for five days but could still get cleared in time for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Thielen caught 8 passes on 11 targets for 123 yards in Week 11 and scored 2 touchdowns for the second straight game.
Thielen is averaging the fourth-most FanDuel points per game (15.9) among wide receivers this season. He is the only wideout in the NFL this season to earn a receiving grade higher than 90.0 from Pro Football Focus.
