Tight End: Kyle Rudolph

Kyle Rudolph of the Minnesota Vikings is a fun pick this week against the Arizona Cardinals. This season Rudolph has 23 receptions (27 targets) for 229 yards with two touchdowns. Rudolph didn’t have his best game last week, so he has to be motivated to play better against the Cardinals in Week 6.

Rudolph is averaging 10 yards per reception this season, and the Cardinals are allowing 248.6 yards passing this season (13th in the NFL), so there is a good chance Rudolph could have a nice productive day for the Vikings as they are looking or their third win of the season.

In Week 4, Rudolph had his best game receiving of the season with seven receptions for 72 yards and with that he was targeted eight times in the game against the Green Bay Packers in overtime.

Rudolph is an exciting player and is usually a solid player to have on a fantasy football roster each week. Rudolph isn’t being ranked as the top tight end for this weekend, but he’s still a quality player and there shouldn’t be any nervousness in starting his on Sunday in Week 6 against the Packers in the NFC North battle.
