START ‘EM

60. . Tight End. Vikings. Kyle Rudolph. 4. player

The Vikings have a lot going their way right now, but the play of Kyle Rudolph is one of their greatest assets, especially when he’s on point. While Rudolph has only found the end zone twice this year, he’s a consistent performer for Minnesota.

This week, Rudolph will get a match made in heaven when his Vikings face the winless Browns. The Browns, to put it bluntly, are awful at stopping opposing tight ends. Any tight end who goes toe to toe with them ends up having a nice day in the stat books.

Having Case Keenum as your quarterback normally would be a knock against a player, but Keenum has fared decently this year. He’ll surely find Rudolph wide open throughout this game and the Vikings should continue to keep Cleveland a losing team this season.

Owning Rudolph as your tight end can be frustrating because he either has fantastic games or is nearly invisible. This should be one of those fantastic games and that’s what you drafted him for. Start Kyle Rudolph.
