6 years agoMinnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph is coming off of his least productive game of the season. He only hauled in one catch for 16 yards during a 37-17 beatdown of the New York Jets. Even though that production was limited, he faces an even tougher test in Week 8. The New Orleans Saints are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. Rudolph has not hauled in a touchdown since Week 3 and is averaging 40 yards per game. The saving grace for Rudolph is that this game will likely be a shootout, which means plenty of targets in the passing game. Regardless, expectations should be tempered and Rudolph can be considered a low-end TE1 option.--Raymond Harrison - RotoBaller
