Kyle Rudolph

Kyle Rudolph caught three of five targets for nine yards in the Vikings’ 21-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Rudolph’s Week 2 receiving line brings his season total to a whopping nine yards. With Minnesota featuring Dalvin Cook and Kirk Cousins lasering in on Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen in the passing game, Rudolph has seen limited opportunities – a trend that will most likely continue.

Kyle Rudolph failed to bring in his lone target in the Vikings’ 28-12 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

It was a discouraging night for Rudolph owners, but it should be noted that Kirk Cousins only attempted 10 passes. That low volume won't be a regular occurrence, and Rudolph will have a chance to rebound in Week 2 against Green Bay.

Kyle Rudolph caught both of his targets for 30 yards in the Vikings' 34-25 win over the Saints on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran tight end got the same treatment as Kirk Cousins and Adam Thielen and only played for a limited time in this one. Rudolph will open the season as the Vikings' starting tight end, but rookie Irv Smith Jr will be gunning for that role immediately.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Kyle Rudolph and the Vikings have come to terms on a four-year, $36 million contract extension.

Fantasy Impact

Rudolph has been looking for a resolution to his contract situation this off-season and he wound up getting his wish. The 29-year-old played in all 16 games last year, totaling 64 receptions for 634 yards and four touchdowns. He'll remain a useable option in fantasy this upcoming season.

Fantasy Impact

Rudolph was unable to follow up on his big game last week as he fell below 40 yards for the fourth time in the last five games. He finished the season with 64 receptions for 634 yards and four TDs. The touchdown production was the biggest disappointment as it was his lowest mark since the 2014 season.
