The Minnesota Vikings are hoping tight end Kyle Rudolph can make significant contributions as a rookie. Rudolph left Notre Dame early and didn’t have the benefit of a regular offseason, but he flashed in training camp.

Their coaches are considering using more two tight end sets with Rudolph and Visanthe Shiancoe on the field together. It’s also worth noting that the second round pick appears to be developing chemistry with first rounder Christian Ponder, which bodes well for the long term future of the tight end.

Fantasy Impact: 

Rudolph is unlikely to make an immediate splash in redraft leagues, but is a good keeper league prospect.

Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe missed practice again and isn't expected to play on Saturday because of the hamstring injury he suffered on Aug. 8.

Asked if the injury is more serious than initially thought, Frazier said, "No, just want to be cautious. We'd like to take a look at the other guys. We kind of know where 'Shianc' is. If it were a game situation, maybe, but no, preseason, we should be all right."

Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has a fan. Larry Fitzgerald was effusive in his praise for the potential of the second-round pick from Notre Dame.

"He's 270 pounds and he's 6-foot-7," Fitzgerald said. "He can run. He can move and get out of his breaks. He's got great hands. He can hold the edge when he needs to block.

"I was teasing him already -- I call him (former New York Giants star) Mark Bavaro reincarnated. He's going to be special like that, I think, and I'm excited to see his progression."

Visanthe Shiancoe has also taken a shine to Rudolph.

"That's going to be my buddy," Shiancoe said of Rudolph after both participated in Larry Fitzgerald's group workout on the "U" campus.

"That's going to be my pal right there. So, we're going to get it going. I'm going to show him everything I know."

Fantasy Impact: 

It's notoriously tough for rookie TEs to make an impact, but after what Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez did last season in New England, teams may be rethinking the position. Rudolph will have to battle with Shiancoe for snaps, but if his skills demand playing time, the Vikings could opt to run two-TE, two-WR sets with Adrian Peterson in the backfield.

One Vikings veteran to watch this offseason will be TE Jim Kleinsasser. The mainstay might not have a roster spot locked up with the addition of second-round pick Kyle Rudolph and with the team needing to make a decision on Visanthe Shiancoe, whose deal has one more year left
