Few players have pleasantly surprised on the year as much as Adam Thielen (Minnesota). Last week Thielen joined Charley Hennigan (from the 1961 season) as the only players in NFL history to notch 100 or more receiving yards in seven straight games to open a season. If Thielen can deliver one more time, he’ll be the first to reach eight straight out of the gate (Hennigan had 78 yards in his eighth game) and Thielen would tie Calvin Johnson as the only receiver to have eight games in a row overall with 100-plus receiving yards (Johnson accomplished his over Weeks 8 through 15 in 2012).
