Tight end Kyle Rudolph suited up after a two-month absence on Sunday. Unfortunately, you wouldn't have really known it if you weren't watching the game. Rudolph actually took the field, but he did so on a limited basis. He didn't record a single target for the afternoon. Even if Rudolph was involved as a receiver, he likely wouldn't have accomplished much considering quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's poor performance. Rudolph and the Vikings have a relatively easy schedule for the rest of the month, but it remains to be seen if the offense can accomplish much.

Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners were hoping to benefit from the Chicago Bears and their generosity to opposing tight ends. They were undoubtedly disappointed. Rudolph was a risky start as he gets eased back into a larger workload, but the zero offensive output was a letdown nonetheless. It would be best to bench Rudolph until his snap count rises. Even then, the Vikings need to get it together offensively if Rudolph has any shot of becoming a TE1 for fantasy purposes. Rudolph is available in nearly half of fantasy leagues.
