Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph returned to practice on Wednesday, getting in a limited session. Rudolph is on track to make his return against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
Kyle Rudolph returns to practice Wednesday, should be back on fantasy rosters
Kyle Rudolph got his first real practice session since undergoing hernia surgery in September. We break down the fantasy implications.

Rudolph hasn't played since suffering a sports hernia in Week 3. He underwent surgery and was placed on the injured reserved/designated to return list. He had just 10 catches for 96 yards and a touchdown in three games before going down with the injury. Chase Ford has been the starting tight end in Rudolph's spot, putting up a 19-212-1 stat line through six games.
Fantasy impact: We will know more about Rudolph's Week 11 availability when the injury report comes out on Friday, but a Wednesday practice is good news. Rudolph had a slow start to the season, but he has decent upside for the rest of the season as a security blanket for Teddy Bridgewater in Norv Turner's offense. He's worth a TE1 flier against a Bears defense that got embarrassed on Sunday night.
