What’s your best guess on Rudolph’s impact/fantasy value for the remainder of the season?
I’m a little hesitant just because he and Bridgewater haven’t really played/practiced together, but from a talent and opportunity standpoint, he’s got a high ceiling the rest of the way. Based on matchup I’d like to rank him even higher this week, but just too much unknown.
I’ve got the Colts defense, but feel I need a replacement DST for week 11. I have the Vikes, Chargers, Bucs, and Redskins available on the waiver wire in a 14 team standard league. Maybe I’ve just seen too many Viking losses @Soldier Field over the years. I’m tempted by the Chargers who are off their bye week and up against the Raiders but did not do well in the last matchup with Carr getting 4TDs in his best game to date, Redskins have the Bucs. I noted your rankings. With these options, would you still take the Vikes in Chicago vs. the Chargers at home? Thanks.
Chargers D is nothing special. Washington’s is OK against the run. Minnesota’s actually been a very solid fantasy defense after going through a brutal stretch of tough offenses to start the season. Chicago can move the ball on offense so I don’t expect the Vikings to have a huge ceiling here, but the Bears (Cutler) turn the ball over plenty, and I expect Minnesota to keep that turnover trend going.
