Fantasy Profile: Kyle Rudolph, TE, Minnesota Vikings
Minnesota tight end Kyle Rudolph keeps getting drafted in fantasy football even though he can barely stay on the field with injury issues. The reason being is he is a highly skilled, pass catching machine when he has both feet beneath him. In a Mike Zimmer offense with Teddy Bridgewater at the helm this would be a great year for Rudolph to stay healthy and show his fantasy owners what type of numbers he is capable of putting up.
Kyle Rudolph is a big bodied target that Bridgewater will likely look for in the redzone when given the chance. If Kyle Rudolph remains healthy in 2015 he will be a top flight option for your fantasy tight end position. The downside of injuries is the real risk here though, so be wary.
