Thielen's six receiving touchdowns are tied with Tampa Bay's Mike Evans for the league's most in 2020.
Thielen was ranked behind the following receivers (from 1-12): DeAndre Hopkins (Cardinals), Michael Thomas (Saints), Julio Jones (Falcons), Davante Adams (Packers), Tyreek Hill (Chiefs), Chris Godwin (Buccaneers), Terry McLaurin (Washington Football Team), Keenan Allen (Chargers), Allen Robinson II (Bears), Stefon Diggs (Bills), Evans and Amari Cooper (Cowboys).
Note: Thomas has played only one game this season.
Monson wrote the following of Jones, whom the Vikings are scheduled to play on Sunday:
2020 has not been kind to elite receivers in terms of injuries, and Julio Jones is one such player who has missed time. He has actually been outshined by teammate Calvin Ridley in terms of production for the Falcons. Let's not allow three games to cloud five straight seasons of PFF grades above 90.0, however — Jones remains the single most imposing receiver in the game.
There are no real weaknesses to his game, even if the Falcons can't find a better way of getting him in the end zone more consistently. And even this year, throwing the ball his way is resulting in a passer rating of 109.0, almost 20 points higher than [Matt] Ryan's overall passer rating.
