Rudolph (groin) led the Vikings with seven catches for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 upset win at Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Rudolph has been a major part of Minnesota's offense through three weeks, with 14 catches on 26 targets. He has found the end zone in both of quarterback Sam Bradford's starts, and should continue to see plenty of red zone looks as the Vikings will likely opt to pass more in that area during running back Adrian Peterson's (knee) absence. The tight end was able to muster this solid line despite Bradford throwing for just 171 yards, showing that he can excel in any environment.
