The Vikings suffered another big blow in Sunday's 20-9 loss in New Orleans with TE Kyle Rudolph exiting the game with a right groin injury. NFL Network's Albert Breer reported on Monday afternoon that the Vikings starting TE will need surgery after team doctors viewed his MRI. Rudolph will be out for about six weeks. (Albert Breer)
Fantasy Impact:
Rookie QB Teddy Brigdewater will throw to the combo of Rhett Ellison and MarQueis Gray until Rudolph returns or they find another TE. This is not a good situation in Minnesota. Stay away from the TE's there in all leagues.
