Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph might be worth a look in starting lineups in Week 4. Fantasy owners have reason to be nervous about his Week 3 performance however.
Fantasy football start/sit Week 4: What to do with Kyle Rudolph
The Vikings safety valve might just be a good play in Week 4. We break down the fantasy implications.

Rudolph caught just one pass for a four-yard gain in a big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That’s with Minnesota putting up 34 points in the win and Case Keenum starting at quarterback.
Fantasy impact: Rudolph proved he had a good connection with Sam Bradford last year. With teammate Stefon Diggs going off in Week 3, there was no need for Minnesota to look for short passes up the middle.
The Detroit Lions head to the Twin Cities this week and bring a defense that also allows for long-bomb plays. It means Rudolph may not be looked at much for the second straight game.
At the same time, he’ll probably at least get more than the two targets he saw last week. He’s a cautiously optimistic starting option as a solid red zone target in Week 4.
Recommendation: Start
