He's caught 68 passes for 960 yards and 5 touchdowns in 2016 and he's been even better over the past 6 weeks, catching at least 4 passes and topping 50 yards receiving in 5 of 6 games.

In Week 17, Thielen and the Minnesota Vikings square off with the Chicago Bears. The Bears pass defense ranks as the 18th-best in the league, according to numberFire metrics.
