Kyle Rudolph (shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. Rudolph will play Sunday, but coming off a goose egg against the Bears, he'll be a shaky TE1 against the Rams for the second week of the fantasy playoffs. Erratic second-year QB Christian Ponder caps Rudolph's weekly upside.

Kyle Rudolph (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. There's nothing to see here. The Vikings are just giving Rudolph some extra rest, and he will play on Sunday against the Rams. Rudolph put up an untimely goose egg in Week 14, and makes for a very risky TE1 play against this week.

Vikings coach Leslie Frazier claimed Kyle Rudolph was a major part of the gameplan in Sunday's win over the Bears.

Kyle Rudolph was held without a catch on two targets versus the Bears in Week 14. His only grab of the game came late in the fourth quarter on the receiving end of an onsides kick. Blame Adrian Peterson. Rudolph had topped 50 yards and scored a touchdown in each of his previous three games, but the Vikings didn't even bother with the passing game after jumping out to an early lead behind Peterson's two scores. Rudolph makes for a dicey fantasy play in Week 15 at St. Louis.

Kyle Rudolph was upgraded to "full" in Friday's practice, and is officially probable for Week 14. Rudolph was limited on Wednesday and Thursday, but was never in danger of missing Sunday's game. Going into a plus matchup against a Bears defense that doesn't make neutralizing tight ends a priority, Rudolph is Rotoworld's No. 9 tight end for Week 14.

Kyle Rudolph (shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. Rudolph's shoulder has been an issue for a few weeks, but he didn't aggravate it in Sunday's loss. He'll be ready to roll against the Bears, and is the No. 9 tight end for Week 14 in Chris Wesseling's rankings.

Kyle Rudolph (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. The Vikings are just managing Rudolph's reps after he played through the injury in Sunday's loss. Averaging a 6/57.1/1 line over his past three games, Rudolph is shaping up as a legit TE1 for the fantasy playoffs.

Kyle Rudolph led the Vikings with 51 yards on six receptions and eight targets at Green Bay in Week 13. Rudolph may have cost himself a touchdown with a bobble at the 5-yard line, but Christian Ponder came right back to him for a 7-yard score after muffing a handoff to Adrian Peterson. Rudolph is on pace for a 60/549/11 stat line entering Week 14 versus Chicago. He's topped 50 yards and found the end zone in each of the past four games.

Kyle Rudolph (shoulder, head) is listed as probable for Week 13. Rudolph has been cleared and will start Sunday's game against Green Bay.

Kyle Rudolph (shoulder) did "everything" Thursday's practice, and is not in doubt for Sunday's game, according to coach Leslie Frazier. Rudolph was just getting a maintenance day on Wednesday. Although Rudolph's production has been scattershot this season, he's averaging six catches for 59.5 yards over his past two starts. He's a borderline TE1 for Week 13.
