Thielen 2.0
Thielen 2.0
Anybody have any thoughts on Brandon Zylstra? Worth a flyer? Has the requisite size and athleticism, and led the CFL in receiving last year.

Re: Thielen 2.0
Honestly have not heard of him. What are the similarities to Thielen? I do not see a huge correlation between leading the CFL and being a good player from some podunk school in MN. I assume he is a cracker and you are highlighting the under the radar aspects of where they both played to pair with his physical traits.

Not really interested unless a super deep league. It's SOOOO freaking rare that someone makes the leap from CFL to NFL and actually sticks on a roster, let alone produces for fantasy.

Re: Thielen 2.0
Both are good players from Podunk Minnesota schools, share an agent now and working out together this offseason. We will see, but he has a good shot in my mind given that he came from a small school and only played two years in the CFL. While there isn't much precedent, Zylstra had a historically great 2nd season in the CFL. Barring injury, he was on pace for the all time yards mark.
It is doubtful that he got much opportunity coming from a D3 school, but it seems the NFL has been giving him workouts(Vikings, Lions, Cardinals etc). Not a horrible flyer in my mind, but we will see.

Thielen played four years at a Division II school and went undrafted. The Vikings cut him once and signed him to the PS when nobody claimed him. He was a special teamer for two seasons before blowing up in 2016 and becoming a stud in 2017.
In short, Thielen is an anomaly. There is no formula for anomalies. Don't chase them. You will only find them by pure tripped on a rock, fell into mud and landed on $100...luck. Maybe this CFL guy is the next Thielen, but the odds are incredibly stacked against it.

Re: Thielen 2.0
If I had to bet on him being anyone's 2.0 it would be Duron Carter. He is on my radar, but in the "flyers to take after reloading my IDP's" tier.
Re: Thielen 2.0
I'm not even expecting Thielen to hold value, I am betting on a slump for him next year.

Thielan went ahead of Diggs in my current startup.
