After nearly two months of recovery from sports-hernia surgery, Kyle Rudolph will be suiting up against the Chicago Bears Sunday. Rudolph could be eased back into the lineup, but head coach Mike Zimmer and Rudolph both believe he's ready to play regardless of the workload. Considering the division rivalry for the Vikings Sunday, it's likely Rudolph will be relied on to bring a spark to the offense throughout the game.

Fantasy impact: Rudolph has been largely touchdown dependent for fantasy owners, even after he signed his five-year contract extension. However, the Bears give up a lot of touchdowns to opposing tight ends. The Vikings will need Rudolph on the field both as a receiver and in pass protection. So, while he’s a risky option, the matchup couldn’t be better for him. Fantasy owners dealing with a bye week or injury should consider Rudolph as a Week 11 streamer.
