Thielen serves as the closest age-34+ wide receiver precedent for Adams's 2026 outlook. In 2025, Thielen recorded 35 targets, 19 receptions, 186 yards, 0 TD, and a 45.7% success rate (over five percentage points below league average). Like Adams, Thielen has always won with route running and separation ability rather than physical domination. However, the source notes that Adams will operate in a far superior offensive ecosystem than Thielen's 2025 situation and is simply a better player, suggesting Adams should outperform Thielen's age-34 baseline despite similar skill profiles.

The source cites Thielen as a historical example of unexpected WR success for the Vikings; he attended a rookie tryout and became a multi-time Pro Bowl selection who holds the NFL record for most consecutive 100-yard receiving games. This context is used to illustrate that unexpected players can emerge in the WR4 competition.
