Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph finished with four catches for 14 yards and two scores during the win over the Cowboys on Sunday. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) out of the lineup, the veteran accounted for both of quarterback Kirk Cousins' touchdown throws on the night. He has been relatively productive despite his lack of volume catching passes, racking up four touchdowns over his last four outings. He is an acceptable streaming option, but don't expect this type of production ...

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is the epitome of the boom-or-bust tight end in fantasy. He has done some booming of late, though, with touchdowns in two of the last three games. In fact, of his 20 reception on the season, 11 of them have come in the last three games. The Dallas Cowboys have been a little shaky against the position the last five weeks averaging 5.8 receptions, 70.3 yards and 0.5 touchdowns allowed per game. There are a few top tight ends on byes or injured this week, ...

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught three of five targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Week 9's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Rudolph hooked up with quarterback Kirk Cousins on a three-yard score late in the third quarter for his second touchdown of the year. Though Rudolph has seen an uptick in production lately with Adam Thielen (hamstring) missing time, he still doesn't inspire confidence as anything more than a touchdown-dependent TE2 for Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has seen an uptick in production recently as he has at least three catches in three straight games and had 5/58/1 in Week 7. He's still averaging just 18.4 yards per game and failed to break out as a usable fantasy player even with star wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) sidelined for most of the last two games. Thielen is expected to resume his normal role and target share for Week 9's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Don't even think about ...

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is coming off a solid game in Week 7 as he tallied five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown against the Detroit Lions. It was his first touchdown and his first time exceeding 36 receiving yards on the season. Rudolph may see a slight increase in targets due to receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) being out, but he still shouldn't be trusted in standard leagues. Rudolph remains an unexciting touchdown-dependent TE2 in Week 8's home matchup against the ...

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught 5-of-6 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Week 7. Rudolph connected with Kirk Cousins on a 15-yard score in the fourth quarter, Rudolph's first touchdown catch of the year. Adam Thielen (hamstring) left the game early, meaning guys like Rudolph, Olabisi Johnson, and Irv Smith Jr. were asked to step up in the passing attack. To their credit, they all put up solid performances. That being said, Rudolph remains an uninspiring low-volume ...

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is not a player you need to force into lineups in Week 7. Rudolph caught 3-of-3 targets for 36 yards in his best game of 2019 in Week 6. He has just nine catches this year and his average target distance is 2.2 yards. He's still playing at least 90% of offensive snaps every game, but he doesn't get enough targets or red-zone work to be in consideration for fantasy lineups. Rudolph is an unexciting TE3 with limited upside in a run-heavy offense and he ...

Minnesota Vikings tight end caught 3-of-3 targets for 36 yards in a Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. This was Rudolph's best game this season by quite a large margin, which just reinforces that he can't be trusted as a starting tight end even with the position being as shallow as it is. He played in 68-of-71 (96%) offensive snaps and had the third-most targets this week, but he still possesses a low weekly floor and ceiling with his lack of red-zone usage. Rudolph is only a desperation ...

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has been close to non-existent from a fantasy football perspective so far this year, catching 6-of-8 targets for 36 scoreless yards in five games played. He has been on the field for at least 84% of offensive snaps in each game but is being asked to block on most plays as the team has shifted to a very run-heavy attack. Rudolph has seen one target in 4-of-5 games and remains an unexciting option even at a paper-thin position, but he can be used as a ...

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is not a recommended play in Week 5 on the road against the New York Giants. Though Rudolph is still playing a high percentage of snaps, he's close to being eclipsed by Irv Smith Jr. in the passing game and has just 32 scoreless receiving yards on seven targets this season. There are likely better TE2's out there to take a shot on, such as Jack Doyle, Dawson Knox, or Noah Fant.
