Fantasy Impact
Rudolph continues to miss time with a foot injury he suffered back in Week 13. His continued absence from practice doesn't look good for his availability on a short week against the Saints in Week 16. Expect Irv Smith Jr. to continue as the primary tight end for Minnesota but fantasy managers should be weary of Smith's touchdown-or-bust value against an elite Saints defense.
