Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 25.

Fantasy Tip: Rudolph has missed the last two practices, so there is a good chance he will not be able to play in Week 17. Owners on FantasyScore should avoid using him this week. Rhett Ellison and Chase Ford likely would see playing time at tight end, but neither is a great option for owners.

Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 24.

Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph (ankle, knee) is not participating in practice Wednesday, Dec. 24.

Fantasy Tip: It looks like Rudolph may not be able to play this week, but he does have a few more days to return to practice. Rhett Ellison and Chase Ford likely would share playing time if Rudolph is not able to play. None of the Vikings tight ends are strong starting options for owners on FantasyScore for Week 17.

Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph (ankle, knee) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is listed as doubtful for Week 16.

Fantasy Tip: Rudolph likely will not play, so owners will need to find another tight end to use. Rhett Ellison and Chase Ford likely will see playing time in Week 16, but neither player is a great option on FantasyScore even though they both cost $3,000.

Fantasy Tip: Rudolph's status for Week 16 is uncertain because of the injuries, so owners should continue to watch the situation. Rudolph has not put up great numbers since coming back from his hernia surgery. Rudolph costs $5,300 on FantasyScore, but owners should consider using another option at the position.

Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph (ankle, knee) is not practicing Wednesday, Dec. 17.

Fantasy Tip: Rudolph ($5,300) probably won't be fully healthy for the final two games of the season, but the fact that he caught seven passes (seven targets) for 69 yards last week should be noted. He's a midrange tight end option at FantasyScore this week against the Miami Dolphins.
