Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson have been putting up strong numbers for Minnesota. Thielen averages 71 yards and has scored 4 touchdowns, while Jefferson averages 87 yards, with 1 touchdown. They should keep things going at Seattle this week.
The Seahawks have allowed 5 touchdowns to wide receivers, and a ridiculous amount of yardage. In four games, they've already allowed seven opposing wideouts to go over 100 yards -- nearly 2 per game.

Nobody needs help to start Thielen or Jefferson these days; they're basically accounting for nearly Minnesota's entire passing offense. But a really good week to keep them locked into lineups.
