I see him still being more reliable a ball catcher then Hockenson. 

probably in practice, but Hockenson is going to be the #2 option here for the foreseeable future. Most of Thielen's value in MN would have been in the low redzone - and it feels like that's something they need, but the turnovers have been so weird we haven't been able to see this offense get into a real flow yet.

Jefferson and Hock are accounting for like 50% of the targets overall, though. I don't think Thielen would have put a dent in that.

Maybe it's just that I have doubts about Hockenson and what we've paid him.  I think he's taken a step backwards in this offense, plus he seems to go down after first contact a lot.

6 games into the 2023 NFL season, former Vikings WRs Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen are currently tied for the second-most catches in the league (49).

Thielen because he's their only credible receiver, Diggs because he whines if he doesn't get the ball enough.

Given our depth at the position (or lack thereof), I would!

 I don't.  I think guys like Booth, Blackmon, Evans and Murphy need to get all the snaps they can.  There's a reason that Williams was on the practice squad to begin with.
