As we all know, there’s a good chance Denver jumps out to a big lead early, forcing St. Louis to abandon the run game, which means more target opportunities for Cook.
Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings

This recommend comes with an important caveat – Kyle Rudolph is not guaranteed to be active on Sunday. But if we hear positive reports through the week regarding his availability, he would be my top streaming option.
Rudolph hasn’t played since Week 3 and has been dropped in the majority of fantasy leagues. When healthy though, Rudolph can be a real difference-maker, especially in the red zone. Scoring on 12 of his 25 career red zone targets (48%), Rudolph ranks among the league’s elite at the tight end position.
While he hasn’t been awe-inspiring over the past two weeks, Vikings' quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been decent, ranking 25th in Passing NEP among passers with at least 200 drop-backs. The return of Rudolph does nothing but bolster his prospects.
The Vikings get the pleasure of facing the Bears this week, fresh off of their embarrassing collapse against Green Bay last Sunday. The Bears have been gouged on defense, especially against the pass.
If Rudolph gets the green light on Sunday, the feast should continue.
