Week 10 NFL Advanced Analytics Superstars

Wide Receiver: Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings

Adam Thielen, WR, Minnesota Vikings

8 Receptions, 166 Yards, 12 Targets, 1 Touchdown

Performance Score: 99

Perhaps no receiver in the NFL has seen a greater rise from obscurity over the past two seasons than the Minnesota Vikings' Adam Thielen. The 2013 undrafted receiver out of Minnesota State came out of nowhere to post a 1,000-yard season in 2016 and has remained one of the most effective pass catchers this year.

Playing with essentially their third-string quarterback in Case Keenum, the Vikings haven't missed a beat, with Thielen being one of the primary reasons. He was unstoppable Sunday, posting 8 receptions for 166 yards and a touchdown, having his way with the Washington Redskins secondary.

He is the league's only receiver to post 5 or more receptions in each contest through nine games, and after going without a touchdown for the first seven, he has now scored in his last two. He is one of the breakout stars of the 2017 season and was the top performing receiver in Week 10 with a Performance Score of 99.
