Kyle Rudolph

Week 14 at Carolina Panthers

Kyle Rudolph caught another touchdown last week as he finished with 4 receptions for 36 yards. Rudolph hasn't been a great option this season, finishing with under 50 yards in every game but two. But he has been a low-end TE1 option in PPR formats because he's ninth in receptions at the position.

He gets a tough matchup against the Panthers this week, but we don't expect his role to change much. He'll continue to be a low-end TE1 in PPR and standard formats.

Week 12 at Detroit Lions

Kyle Rudolph's catch-heavy season continued last week as he finished with 5 receptions for a season-high 58 yards. He now has six straight games with at least 5 catches, giving him a high-enough floor in PPR formats to continue to start. But his lack of big yards or touchdowns makes him a frustrating player in standard leagues.

He gets a decent matchup this week against the Lions, a team that has allowed some big games to the position throughout the season. It's worth noting, however, Rudolph struggled against Detroit earlier in the season, catching just 2 passes for 34 yards.

Expect a similar script for Rudolph this week, as he'll likely be a low-end TE1 play in PPR formats, while sitting just outside TE1 territory in standard leagues.

Week 10 at Washington

Kyle Rudolph has emerged as a solid PPR option in recent games, catching at least 5 passes in four consecutive games. But he hasn't been much of a standard option, as he's been held to under 50 yards in every game this season. He's also not much of a scoring threat, as he has just 3 touchdowns on the year.

Rudolph has low-end TE1 appeal, especially in PPR formats. He should find some success this week in a favorable matchup against a Washington defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points and the most yards to opposing tight ends.
