For as stout as the Seattle Seahawks' defense is, they've given up a fair amount of production to the tight end position this season. The Seahawks have allowed the eighth most fantasy points to tight ends: 8.7 standard scoring points per game.
While Kyle Rudolph is far from a safe option, he is a player who has shown the ability to have a big game in the past -- he posted a 6-reception, 106-yard and 1-touchdown game earlier this year and followed it up with a 7-reception showing the next week.
The Vikings will assuredly do their best to get Adrian Peterson going in this contest, but if that proves troublesome, we're likely to see Teddy Bridgewater forced to air it out. Rudolph stands to be a benefactor of this if it occurs.
