Vikings' Adam Thielen dealing with 'slight' back fractures for NFC Championship

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (questionable, back) is dealing with a "couple of slight fractures" in his lower back, reports Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

What It Means:

Rapoport describes Thielen's injury as "extremely painful" and the result of a hit late in the fourth quarter of last week's Divisional Round victory over the New Orleans Saints. He's going to battle through it, but with Thielen clearly playing at less than full strength, Stefon Diggs will likely see a few more looks against the Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon.

numberFire's models project Thielen to score 12.2 FanDuel points in the NFC Championship Game, with 5.6 catches (9.1 targets) for 67.7 yards and 0.46 touchdowns.
