During the last four games, Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has found a home in the end zone. The seven-year big man continued his scoring streak against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday. He caught two passes for 17 yards including a one-yard touchdown catch. Rudolph did not play a lot in the contest, as he came into the game with a sprained ankle that he suffered against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14. Sunday was the first week he was held under three catches and 35 receiving yards since Week 4.

Rudolph will look to continue his scoring streak in Green Bay Saturday versus the Packers. He caught five passes for 47 yards in their first meeting. The Packers play well against tight ends; however, they were just burned by Panthers TE Greg Olsen for 116 yards and a touchdown in Week 14.
Fantasy impact: Rudolph continues to be one of the top fantasy tight ends because of his scoring streak. He would have been a bust against Cincinnati otherwise. Rudolph should be able to heal up over this short week. He has a wonderful matchup against a Packers defense that was lit up by Olsen the previous week. Rudolph should definitely be in your playoff finals lineup.
