Gets five-year offer
Rudolph confirmed he's been offered a five-year extension, Chris Tomasson of The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Any extension would lower Rudolph's $7.625 million cap hit, freeing up some much-needed space for the Vikings. Rumors of a potential trade or release gained steam after the team drafted Irv Smith Jr. at No. 50 overall, though history suggests it isn't wise to count on major contributions from a rookie tight end. Rudolph is participating in voluntary OTA practices and remains optimistic an agreement will be reached before training camp, but he did mention that he's been informed of other teams…read more

Still hoping to stay in Minnesota
Rudolph said his agent is still working with Vikings GM Rick Spielman to find a resolution for the tight end's contract situation, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: The Vikings have less than $1 million in cap space and recently used the 50th overall pick in the 2019 draft on tight end Irv Smith Jr. There's been talk of the team using more two-TE formations to accommodate its new addition, but the other options are to trade or release Rudolph, who is scheduled for a non-guaranteed $7.625 million cap hit in the final season of a five-year contract. The 29-year-old presumably was hoping to sign an extension that reduces his 2019 cap charge, while the Vikings…read more

Contract talks tabled
Contract negotiations between Rudolph and the Vikings have stalled and were tabled Friday, Andrew Krammer of the Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: When the Vikings selected Irv Smith in the second round of the draft, there was speculation they might move on from Rudolph. There was then some belief offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski could find a way to use both players effectively, potentially using more two-TE formations to replace three-wide alignments. This report of tabled contract negotiations supports the original claim that the Vikings are prepared to move on from the 29-year-old if need be. It seems Rudolph can either take a…read more

Team could utilize two tight ends
Minnesota GM Rick Spielman said the Vikings plans to utilize both Rudolph and 2019 second-round pick Irv Smith in the offense, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. However, Spielman wouldn't comment on Rudolph's long-term future and Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports the Vikings are open to trading Rudolph but not actively shopping him.
Analysis: Rudolph and Smith are different types of tight ends and offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski frequently uses two-tight end sets. It's possible the two could be utilized with Smith moving around and as a middle-of-the field target with Rudolph adding more blocking and red-zone ability. However, Rudolph's $7.625 million cap hit, coupled with the fact he's in the last year of his contract, would make it appear he's a candidate to be traded or released by the cap-challenged Vikings. At a minimum,…read more

Denies report about pay cut
Rudolph's agent denied a report that the Vikings have asked the tight end to accept a pay cut, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Entering the final season of a five-year, $36.5 million extension, Rudolph is scheduled for a $7.625 million cap hit that can be completely wiped off the books if he's released, per overthecap.com. Of course, the aforementioned figure is quite reasonable for a player that started 16 games each of the past four seasons, averaging 63 catches for 625 yards and six touchdowns in that span. It could even be argued that Rudolph is a slight bargain, given the contracts signed by the likes of Trey…read more

Shut down by Chicago
Rudolph caught four of his five targets for 19 yards during Sunday's loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Like every other Vikings receiver, Rudolph was blanketed against a Bears defense that allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards per game (219.7) in 2018 -- not to mention the sixth-fewest yards (42.7) to tight ends. The eight-year veteran consequently finishes the year with 634 receiving yards and four touchdowns over 16 games, though he would have set three-year lows across the board had he not had a monster 122-yard, two-touchdown game Week 16 that was buoyed by a lucky catch on a Hail Mary.…read more

Red-zone reindeer peaks at Xmas time
Rudolph caught all nine of his targets for 122 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-9 win over Detroit.
Analysis: Rudolph was able to pluck the ball at its high point and come down with a 44-yard Hail Mary to end the first half. He got his second touchdown of the afternoon on a four-yard catch with 13:25 remaining. Owners who looked the red-zone reindeer's way even though he had just two touchdowns all season coming in -- and none since Week 3 -- were rewarded with an early Christmas present from the tight end. Rudolph will look to carry over the momentum from this performance to the Week 17 regular-season…read more

Sees limited targets
Rudolph recorded three receptions for 23 yards across 51 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Rudolph continues to see limited targets this season as he now has just eight receptions for 68 yards over the past three games. It could be more of the same for the veteran next week against the Lions, who have only allowed five touchdowns to tight ends all season.

Hardly a factor
Rudolph caught two of his five targets for seven yards in Monday night's 21-7 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Rudolph has seen his role within Minnesota's offense decline this season, but Monday marked a new low for the tight end. It was the first time he's failed to top 10 yards this year, but in his defense, the Vikings offense as a whole did very little prior to its final drive. Regardless, the veteran will be eager to improve in Week 15 versus the Dolphins.

Just three targets Sunday
Rudolph had three receptions for 38 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss at New England.
Analysis: So much for the idea that he'd become a bigger part of the passing offense after last week's season-high seven targets as Rudolph wasn't a big factor even with the Vikings playing from behind most of the game. His weekly fantasy upside still seems to hinge on whether he reaches the end zone.

Posts best outing since Week 2
Rudolph reeled in all seven of his targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: The reception count matched Rudolph's season high in the category, while the yardage total was his second-best effort. While the outing amounted to a positive step forward for the tight end, it's worth noting that he had tallied only 13 receptions for 133 yards over the previous five games. His weekly fantasy upside still seems to hinge on whether he reaches the end zone.

Another quiet game as receiver
Rudolph corralled two of his five targets for 13 yards in the Vikings' 25-20 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Through quarterback Kirk Cousins is averaging 40.9 attempts per game this season -- an appreciable uptick from the 32.9 the team averaged in 2017 -- Rudolph hasn't benefited from much added volume in the passing game. The tight end is currently on pace for 58 receptions and 579 receiving yards over a 16-game schedule, both of which barely edge out last season's marks in both categories. Perhaps more frustrating for fantasy managers than Rudolph's meager increase in overall involvement is that…read more

Quiet sans Diggs
Rudolph caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-9 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Owners hoping to see the tight end more involved without wide receiver Stefon Diggs (ribs) were left disappointed, as quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for a season-low 164 yards. After scoring 15 touchdowns over the previous two seasons, Rudolph heads into the Week 10 bye with just 34 catches for 349 yards and two scores.
