We should be able to move the ball on the ground a little better this game. They have an elite safety and corner. The other safety and corner are just okay. I trust Lattimore to shadow Diggs. He’s their best receiver, it’s just that Thielen is the favorite target. He’s going to get his on Crawley, but we have to keep them out of the end zone. Make their QB beat us.
I've never heard of a favorite target not being the best receiver. He might not physically impress you, but apparently he's doing more things right than Diggs.

He definitely physically impresses me. Fast, great hands, good routes. They have similar measurables athletically, but Thielen has more size. I just think Diggs is slightly better and would have explosive numbers too if he was targets 8 to 10 times a game. I wouldn’t be upset about somebody thinking Thielen is better. He delivered all year in fantasy football for me.

I just think that if he's getting the most targets, it must mean he's seen as more reliable and gets open more. Not to say Diggs isn't good, but I think he'd be the featured receiver if he were a better receiver than Thielen.

When I saw Thielen against the Saints in the first game, I didn't see anything about him that stood out, but all I know is nobody could seem to cover him, and apparently he's been able to do that against most teams, much to my surprise.
