Vikings' Kyle Rudolph (foot) not expected to suit up for Week 14

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) is not expected to suit up for the team's Week 14 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

What It Means:

Rudolph wasn't able to practice at all this week, so this should come as no surprise. Adam Schefter reported that the Vikings are expected to get Irv Smith Jr. (back) back this week, but that the second-year tight end's injury could still limit his snaps on offense.

Assuming Smith Jr. suits up, he could end up fourth in line for targets in a game that could see the Vikings passing more than they usually like to. Our models project him to score 6.6 fantasy points, while FanDuel has set his salary at $5,100.
