START ‘EM
Tight End. Vikings. Kyle Rudolph. 4. player. 60. Projected Points: 5
Kyle Rudolph is only projected to put up five points per CBS Sports, but he really is someone that I’d slot in as a starter regardless. Rudolph appears to be one of Sam Bradford‘s most reliable targets, catching all three balls thrown his way on Monday night.
Finding the end zone last week got Rudolph up to eight points for the week.
Rudolph’s yardage total will likely be low due to the Vikings having several other weapons, but he finds the end zone, and that’s big for owners regarding their tight end in fantasy football. Finding the end zone last week got Rudolph up to eight points for the week, which is a higher number for that position.
The Vikings face the Steelers this week, who gave up 222 yards to the Browns offense on Sunday. They held Browns tight end David Njoku to just two catches for 20 yards, but Pittsburgh allowed the Cleveland offense to put up some good numbers against them.
After seeing Sam Bradford torch the Saints, it’d be tough not to like anyone on the Vikings offense for this game, but Rudolph is Bradford’s most reliable guy to throw to. Start him.
