I love me some Tyler Lockett but he only had 57 receptions for 965 yards last year. That's not even close to the same production. Love Keenan Allen too and would argue he actually has a bigger role than Thielen since he shares targets with Diggs. However Allen only put up 97 rec and 1196 yards last year (really the only of the three that comes close). Part of what makes Thielen so good is his durability, whereas Allen missed all of 2016. Humphries had his best season by far last year and still only put up 76 rec and 816 yards with only 5 td. Not to mention Thielen is 6'2" 200, and all three guys you mentioned are undersized except for Allen. Plus Keenan Allen is due for a new contract and I can virtually guarantee you he gets around Thielen money. There is this thing called natural inflation and NFL contracts only get bigger over time.
