Rudolph secured two of three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Rudolph played on 59 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps compared to the 68 percent played by starting tight end Evan Engram. Since Engram has returned, Rudolph has not been relied on for much offensive production. The 6-foot-6, 265-pounder will remain off the fantasy radar while Engram is healthy, especially with so many mouths to feed in New York's receiving corps. Next up for Rudolph and the Giants is a Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys.

With Evan Engram back, Rudolph did not receive a single target Sunday against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Rudolph will be relegated to a blocking role and is a long shot to be heavily involved in the offense on a given week.

Rudolph hauled in both of his targets for 25 yards in Thursday's 30-29 loss to Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Rudolph has had plenty of playing time to begin the season with Evan Engram (calf) sidelined, and he played 71 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps in Thursday's loss. However, he's had a limited target share and has secured four of his seven targets for 33 yards.

Rudolph caught two of five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

Making his Giants debut, Rudolph was essentially a non-factor in New York's passing game. With fellow tight end Evan Engram (calf) sidelined, Rudolph played on 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The 31-year-old will likely struggle to produce for fantasy with any consistency on an offense flush with pass catchers, especially when Engram returns to the field. Rudolph and the Giants' offense have a tall task ahead of them as they head to Washington for a Thursday night matchup.

Rudolph (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Evan Engram (calf) officially ruled out, Rudolph and Kaden Smith (knee) -- who both managed injuries this week -- will serve as the Giants' top two tight ends Sunday. Rudolph himself spent most of the offseason in recovery mode from foot surgery, so it stands to reason there could be some rust to brush off early on this season.

Rudolph (foot) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants' tight end room is banged up at the moment, with Evan Engram (calf) still not practicing and Kaden Smith (knee) a fellow limited participant to Rudolph. Engram is trending toward an absence Week 1 versus the Broncos, which would leave TE duties to Rudolph and Smith on Sunday.

Rudolph (foot) was limited at practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

As was Kaden Smith (knee), while Evan Engram (calf) was a DNP while watching the session from a side field with the training staff. If Engram is unable to play Sunday versus the Broncos, Rudolph and Smith may be splitting TE reps to begin the campaign.

Rudolph (foot) admitted that he's unsure of his status for the Giants' Week 1 matchup with Broncos, despite being activated from the PUP list Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. "I still have a long way to go," Rudolph said.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran tight end underwent foot surgery shortly after linking up with the Giants back in March, and while passing his physical and returning to practice is a step in the right direction, he remains without a clear timeline to resume full activity. In his return to practice Wednesday, Rudolph was limited to individual drills.

Rudolph (foot) passed a physical and will be activated from the PUP list prior to Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The tight end will likely be limited in his first practice as a member of the Giants, jumping in for joint sessions with the Patriots. Rudolph now has two and a half weeks to ramp up for the season opener, at which point he could form a timeshare with Evan Engram at tight end.

Rudolph (foot) was spotted running routes on the field in advance of Sunday's preseason game against the Browns, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

With that in mind, Rosenblatt adds that he "would expect the tight end to finally get activated off PUP and make his practice debut this (coming) week." If that indeed occurs, Rudolph would then presumably turn his focus toward readying for Week 1 action and wouldn't seem likely to be a candidate to suit up for the Giants' preseason finale next Sunday.
