Kyle Rudolph still sidelined at practice; fantasy owners will have to wait a while
The Vikings tight end hasn’t played since Week 3 and did not practice on Wednesday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: As a rookie, Rudolph held a lot of promise. He’s big, athletic and has steady hands. Unfortunately he hasn’t had a stable quarterback passing him the ball at any time during his young career.
Things do look positive with Teddy Bridgewater under center, and that reflects more future promise on the fantasy value of Rudolph. However, the Vikings are on a bye week, so Rudolph won't be back until at least Week 11.
Fantasy owners don’t need to rush to pick up Rudolph for now. If and when he is a relevant addition to an active roster, it will only be in deeper leagues in which the premier tight ends are all taken.
