7 FanDuel Bargains for Week 6
Kyle Rudolph ($5,000)
Ever since his nine-touchdown sophomore campaign, it seems to be a yearly tradition that Kyle Rudolph is dubbed a sleeper, only to disappoint. Though that seems to be the case again this year, Rudolph has an undeniable ability to score touchdowns, and that's exactly what we're looking for in a bargain tight end.
Since coming into the league in 2011, Rudolph has converted 44.4% of his red zone targets into touchdowns, almost doubling the league average of 23.6%. Though he only has one touchdown this season, he accounts for a whopping 41% of the Vikings' targets in the red zone, and the touchdowns should continue to come in for him.
To make things even more appealing, he's up against Kansas City this week, who have struggled to defend the pass in the red zone. They have allowed touchdowns on 33% of their opponents' red zone drop backs, ranking 29th in the league in that category.
Rudolph's situation this week sets him up as well as you could ever hope for, and with such a low salary, he'll provide great value if he finds the end zone.
