Rudolph was targeted four times in Sunday's loss to Seattle, tallying three catches for 13 yards.

EDGE Analysis

Rudolph's performance on Sunday snapped his best two-game stretch of the season, during which he caught 13 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown. After seeing six or more targets just twice during the season's first nine games, Rudolph has emerged as a go-to target in Minnesota, besting team-leading receiver Stefon Diggs in targets 23 to 19 over the past three weeks. Still, Minnesota's terrible passing offense makes it difficult to consider Rudolph worth a starting spot. For the season, Rudolph ranks tied for 15th among tight ends in receptions, 22nd in yards and tied for seventh in touchdowns.
