View More NewsKyle Rudolph acts as security blanket for backup QB
Kyle Rudolph saw six targets (tied with Stefon Diggs and Adam Theilen for the team lead) in the Vikings' loss to the Steelers in Week 2. He converted four receptions into 45 yards.
Fantasy Impact
You could have done worse at the TE position than Rudolph's performance this week. There are definitely some better upside options out there, which may be worth a look if Sam Bradford remains inactive with his knee injury. Rudolph had a nice floor with Bradford, but with the much less efficient Case Keenum, Rudolph becomes a more risky play. Consider streaming based on matchups if Bradford remains out. Rudolph is a strong TE1 once Bradford returns, but a risky back end starter until then.
