Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings, $6,000

Kyle Rudolph has been very dependable for the Minnesota Vikings offense this season. Rudolph does have a scoreless streak going, but in Week 7 he faces a New York Jets defense that has allowed 292 receiving yards per game through six games.

Rudolph overall has amassed top-10 numbers among tight ends in every other category. His two touchdowns is fifth-ranked. Rudolph has caught 27 balls which is sixth-best, on 31 targets which comes in at 10th-highest. Even though Rudolph hasn’t scored a lot of touchdowns his steady volume places him as a great option for a high value selection.

Rudolph is on a very potent and dynamic offense. His quarterback, Kirk Cousins, has been a top fantasy performer all season. Cousins involves Rudolph every game and that trend will continue as the season goes on. Let’s dive in and take a look at the defense Rudolph will be facing in Week 7.

The New York Jets are a surprise 3-3 team with a rookie signal caller. They have proven to their competition that they can score in every facet of the game and shouldn’t be looked over. The Jets defense is still a work in progress though and through six games they have allowed a total of 381 yards, 272.3 passing yards, 108.7 rushing yards and 23.2 point per game. Look for Rudolph and the entire Minnesota offense to take advantage.

Prediction: 50 receiving yards, 1 touchdown
