Rudolph caught three of five targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 loss to Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph caught an 18-yard touchdown in the first quarter to tie the game at 7-7. With four trips to the end zone in the past three weeks, the 28-year-old tight end's heating up at the perfect time for fantasy owners.

Rudolph caught four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 14-9 win over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph tied for tops on the team in catches and targets while finishing second in yardage. He caught the six-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that ultimately decided the game, giving him three trips to the end zone over the last two weeks. Rudolph continues to serve as a security blanket and red zone threat in a rather efficient offense -- a role that's made him a solid fantasy contributor heading into next week's matchup with the Panthers.

Rudolph caught all four of his targets for 63 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 30-23 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The seven-year veteran now has 36 receptions for 320 yards and four touchdowns through his past seven outings, and Minnesota has won all seven of those games. The consistent looks in the passing attack provide a high fantasy floor, which is often a rarity at the tight end position. While Rudolph is unlikely to pile up huge weekly yardage totals, he's garnered 12 red-zone targets this season and has clearly earned the trust of quarterback Case Keenum.

Rudolph brought in five of seven targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph checked in second behind Adam Thielen in receptions and yardage on the afternoon and extended what is now an impressive six-game stretch. Factoring in Sunday's production, the seven-year pro has at least five receptions on no less than seven targets in six consecutive games. While his yardage totals won't make or break any owner's fantasy week, the 28-year-old is one of the more dependable options at the tight end position league-wide. He'll look to keep up his production versus the Lions in a Thanksgiving Day divisional clash.

Rudolph had five receptions for 37 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph continues to get a steady share of targets with Case Keenum at quarterback, but that hasn't translated into many yards or touchdowns. He has seven targets or or more the past five games, but just has 27 receptions for 199 yards and two touchdowns over that span.

Rudolph had six receptions for 27 yards, including a four-yard touchdown, on seven targets in Sunday's win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph appears to be building a rapport with Case Keenum as he has five or more receptions in each of the last four games. Rudolph's touchdown catch is a positive sign, as his Red Zone usage has decreased this season. He did not have a target within five yards of the end zone before Sunday after eight last year.

Rudolph had five receptions for 43 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph had a productive game, but has just two touchdown receptions this season. He appears to be developing a better rapport with starter Case Keenum as he has had seven or more targets in three consecutive games after failing to get more than six in each of his first four games.

Rudolph brought in five of nine targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph checked in behind only Adam Thielen in targets and drew even with Jerick McKinnon in receptions on the afternoon. After causing some concern for fantasy owners with just three receptions on six targets in Weeks 3 and 4, the 27-year-old has been the recipient of 18 looks over the subsequent pair of contests. He's parlayed those opportunities into 11 catches for 92 yards and a score, putting him back on the tight end radar. He'll look to continue bouncing back versus the Ravens in Week 7.

Rudolph had six receptions for 45 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown, in Monday's win at Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph had his best game of the season as he had 13 targets in his previous four games. The Bears limited Minnesota's down-field passing to receivers, which led to more opportunities for Rudolph over the middle. If defenses continue to focus on Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs after their early success, Monday's game could become a trend for Rudolph.

Rudolph had two receptions for 34 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph has had a disappointing start to the season with just 3.8 targets per game though four games after averaging 5.2 targets per game last season. Rudolph hasn't had the same chemistry with Case Keenum as Sam Bradford last season and Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen have been more of a focus of the offense. However, the nature of the offense could change with Dalvin Cook out for the season with a torn ACL, so Rudolph could become more of a primary target again.
