I need about 39 PPR points from him tonight.

Need 13 from Thielen to win in my two $250 leagues and stay .500+ in both of them...  the 20 teamer is already in the bag.

So a reasonable expectation, especially following a couple of dud weeks...  6/70 or 3/40/1...

Seems legit

Off to a good start.

That's my top 10 WR...

[Hardcore troubadour 12,556]

So, is Kubiak going to keep slamming Cook into eight man fronts? I know they have a prehistoric offensive philosophy there, but you can’t keep doing that. 

[nobody 2,031]

That graphic of Cousins, Cook, and Theilen cowering at the sight of the bear walking by was messed up.

[nobody 2,031]

Roquan gets  a solo sack.  Steve Levy or whoever that is says, "Danny Travathon with the sack."  Then he realizes it was Roquan Smith. "...along with Roquan Smith"

Meanwhile Travathon was nowhere near the play.  Nice save Steve.  I get it 58 vs 59.  Hard to tell sometimes.

Well it's not like they trust Cousins and his 15 / 10 TD to INT ratio throwing the ball.

[Mike FF Today 607]

I really wish Thielen would've caught that pass in the endzone.

[SaintsInDome2006 128]

Crazy thing is CPat is a great athlete and he’s in a unique position to be featured tonight but he’s just being used like a regular backup RB. There’s no hint he’ll be used in the passing game. He has one target! Of course the D is stacking. What a waste.

They’re gonna have to. 

[nobody 2,031]

Surprised they didn't get a low hit on Foles on that sack.  I guess Foles isn't important enough.

[nobody 2,031]

Dalvin!@#!@#!

MIght have gotten the wind knocked out of him.

I knew it was coming. You can’t keep slamming a guy into the line all night. 

[nobody 2,031]

That commercial for the MS drug weirds me out.  All of those overweight women staring at me is unsettling.

I’m ascared. He’s all I got. Him and Drake and that mess on the Rams.

Without Hicks in there it should be a bit easier.

His schedule is so easy coming up I’d rather he sit the rest out. 

[SaintsInDome2006 128]

Chicago's line is really, really bad. 

[nobody 2,031]

I wonder how Chicago responds here.  This is usually where Allen Robinson pulls something amazing out of his ass.

I've followed him since the vikings drafted him & I don't understand it either. There's gotta be a reason.... not a good route runner ?

[nobody 2,031]

Foods overthrows Anthony Miller.  Brian Griese.. "you gotta come down with that ball if you're Anthony Miller."

Yeah, Norv Turner tried developing him into a regular WR after a rookie season of him doing great things with the Vikings getting the ball into his hands by various methods.

It... did not go well.

Finally having a week when Diggs, Hopkins & Theilen all performed....Aiyuk didn't do bad either

[Law 220]

Foles made the Vikings look like the Purple People Eaters Reborn!

I heard him say that. Is Miller supposed to grow longer arms? 

[MissionCoach 4]

Did Jimmy Graham get lost?

[SaintsInDome2006 128]

Well that sucks.

Musta. Somewhere down the line.

Thielen now has 3 career TDs vs Chicago, after the 2 tonight.
