The Steelers have just signed Adam Thielen to their roster. We consider if he may have longshot, deep-sleeping upside in Fantasy Football.

Adam Thielen was waived by the Minnesota Vikings after requesting his release with the hope of joining a contending playoff team in what will be his last NFL season.

The decision to split from the Vikings in his final NFL season was not about “wins or losses” for veteran wideout Adam Thielen.
