TE Kyle Rudolph — 32.4% rostered (ESPN)

Say what you want about Kirk Cousins, but he has been slinging it in the past few weeks. Sunday night he connected not once, but twice with Rudolph including a spectacular grab in the back of the endzone, similar to Eric Ebron’s catch against Denver.

Rudolph finished the night with four catches for 14 yards along with the two scores. Some may feel like that doesn’t warrant a waiver claim, but these numbers and last night’s game show that there is one guy on this talented Minnesota offense that Kirk Cousins trusts more than anyone in the red zone.

If Adam Thielen continues to miss with the hamstring injury, Rudolph could be in line for some steady targets in a brutal tight end landscape.
