Adam Thielen has had back-to-back extremely productive seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. Will he be able to make it three in a row in 2019?

Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Adam Thielen has lit up the stat sheets for two seasons in a row.

Thielen has worked his way up from being an undrafted rookie, to the practice squad, and then to special teams. He finally found a consistent role on the Vikings’ offense in 2016 and since then he has been uncoverable.

Thielen was on a historic run a season ago, posting at least 100 receiving yards in eight straight games before crashing back down to Earth in Week 9.

He isn’t the biggest or fastest wide receiver in the NFL, but he is a master route runner and he has some of the surest hands in the league.

Minnesota has a new offensive coordinator for 2019, but most of the pieces will be the same from a season ago. The question is will Thielen be able to produce at the high level expected of him again?

Let’s explore some of the reasons for why he may perform better or worse in 2019 with the Vikings.
