Summary

Tight End Rank: #24
Overall: #182

Rudolph was the top rated tight end in this year's draft. He isn't much of a blocker but a top pass catcher. He has plus speed, very good hands and the ability to make the tough catch. In terms of a pass catcher, Rudolph is ready to make an immediate impact in the NFL. He needs to work on his blocking if he hopes to become a full-time starter, though. For now, expect Rudolph and Visanthe Shiancoe to get a lot of work in two-tight end sets. The Vikings need playmakers in the passing game, so Rudolph will get plenty of chances his rookie season.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Rudolph should be a solid spot starter for fantasy teams. He'll get plenty of targets in the offense. The Vikings will utilize his top pass-catching skills. A season with around 500 yards and four or so touchdowns seem about right for Rudolph.

Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph, who does not have a red nose, by the way, but most of his teammates probably love him, and perhaps shouted his name in glee, scored a touchdown in Week 16 against the Washington Redskins Saturday, Dec. 24. He is the only played with the name 'Rudolph' to ever score a point in the NFL.

Fantasy Impact: He isn't having quite the season as expected but still can be a fantasy factor in this league. He is a talented player.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier indicated Friday, Nov. 25, that the team is still considering TE Allen Reisner off the practice squad if TE Kyle Rudolph (quadriceps) cannot play. FB Ryan D'Imperio is also an option to see time at tight end. 'We haven't made that determination because we still have some option with (D'Imperio), some of things we do not out regular, along with (TE Jimmy Kleinsasser) and some of the things that we do there,' Frazier said.
