Comment () | Share: Vikings | Kyle Rudolph improving as a blocker Sun, 18 Jun 2017 09:17:00 -0700 Minnesota Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph is doing a better job as a blocker, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. Fantasy Tip: Following a two-year stretch in which he played a total of 17 games, Rudolph has put together back-to-back full seasons and broke out last year with 83 catches for 840 yards - both career highs - and seven touchdowns. However, he graded out poorly as a run blocker, so this is a good sign for his current and future owners, as any improvement in that area should keep him on the field more than he already is. He is a midrange TE1 in fantasy. Comment () | Share: Vikings | George Edwards to call defensive plays for MIN?
