The only NFL receiver with more receiving yards this season than Adam Thielen is Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown (1,026), who has become a fixture in the first round on fantasy draft day.
The only receivers who top his 62 receptions: Brown, Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald (who's headed for the Hall of Fame), New Orleans' Michael Thomas (who was a borderline fantasy first-round pick) and Miami's Jarvis Landry (who's a PPR machine).
That all adds up to a player who should be in high demand on the trade block — if your league's deadline hasn't passed yet.
FantasyPros pegs him as the No. 9 wide receiver the rest of the way, so that doesn't mean Thielen should be given away.
But if your team has stability and depth at wide receiver (or if you receive a startable one as part of a Thielen trade), he could be a great chip to help improve the shortcoming(s) in your starting lineup.
