Even with the Minnesota Vikings offense struggling, Kyle Rudolph has been solid fantasy tight end this year.

In 11 games, Rudolph has caught 48 passes for 468 yards and five touchdowns. He enters Week 13 ranked seventh in fantasy scoring among tight ends. He has drawn an average of 6.8 targets per game over his last six games.

Even though this offense has been a disaster, Rudolph has put up solid lines more often than not. It helps that the Minnesota receivers have not been consistent this season, leaving Rudolph with more attention from quarterback Sam Bradford, who already prefers quick and easy passes.

Now, Rudolph and the Vikings host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football.

Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Rudolph as the fifth-best tight end in Week 13. He faces a Dallas defense allowing the fifth-most points to tight ends this season.

Keep Rudolph in your starting lineup this week.
