Kyle Rudolph Fantasy

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is a name that multiple NFL teams have reportedly asked about ahead of the trade deadline on Nov. 3, according to Albert Breer of the MMQB. Minnesota has already moved defensive end Yannick Ngakoue to Baltimore, an indication that the organization could be open for making other shrewd moves that look beyond 2020. Rudolph's role in the passing game has diminished from where it has been over the past decade, as he's compiled just 14 targets (10 receptions) over his first six games this year. With essentially little season-long value currently attached, Rudolph could benefit from a change of scenery in an offense that would be hoping to highlight his red-zone abilities. Stay tuned to see if Rudolph changes uniforms as the deadline approaches.

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph will go up against a Colts Defense in Week 2 that allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2019. Rudolph caught only two passes for 28 yards in the opener and really has faded into the background on offense the past few seasons. Rudolph posted only 367 yards in 2019 and no longer is a featured player in the Vikings passing attack. The veteran tight end is not fantasy viable as a TE1 heading into Week 2.

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph enters his 10th NFL season with 47 career touchdowns, including six last season. The veteran has been a steady presence throughout his Vikings tenure but caught only 39 passes for 367 yards last season. It was a down season after averaging 68 receptions with 668.6 yards and just over six touchdowns the previous three seasons. Rudolph currently sits at 28 among tight ends per Rotoballer.com's rankings, so don't expect him to be selected in drafts. But Rudolph could have DFS value early on and, if he bounces back in 2020, could become a waiver wire gem at some point.
