The Minnesota Vikings will get a much-needed boost to their offense this week, as tight end Kyle Rudolph is listed as probable for Week 11's matchup with the Chicago Bears.

Rudolph has been sidelined since Week 4 with a groin injury, but returned for all three days of his team's practice, getting full sessions in Thursday and Friday. He is expected to resume his duties as an every-down tight end in place of backup Chase Ford.
Fantasy Spin: At a position that is razor thin in fantasy, Rudolph makes for an attractive streaming option this week versus a Bears team that is allowing more fantasy points to tight ends than any other team this season. Their Week 10 opponent, the Green Bay Packers, took note and got two of their tight ends involved in the action. The Vikings would be wise to do the same with Rudolph, and fantasy owners could do much worse than bet on him this week.
