Vikings tight end John Carlson (concussion) did not practice all week and he has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.
John Carlson Injury Update: Backup tight end out, Rudolph a fantasy option?
John Carlson is still dealing with a concussion and he is out for Sunday. Does Kyle Rudolph deserve consideration?
Geoff Burke-US PRESSWIRE
Carlson has just three catches on six targets for eight yards on the season. He could miss more time with this injury.
Fantasy Impact: Carlson probably wanted to face his old team, but it’s not going to happen. The league’s stringent concussion tests will make it tough for players to return a moment too soon. Obviously, a guy without a single fantasy point in standard leagues over the course of half a season doesn’t have value.
While we’re on the subject of Vikings tight ends, Kyle Rudolph might be able to get it going against the Seahawks. Seattle has two lock-down corners and the middle might be open as Rudolph may matchup with Will linebacker K.J. Wright.
