Kyle Rudolph, TE

2016 was a great year for Rudolph as he set single-season career highs in catches (83), targets (132), and receiving yards (840). But this year, the tight end has taken a bit of back seat in the Vikings’ offense.

With just eight catches in three games, Rudolph is on pace to only haul in just 43 passes this year.

Despite his slowdown in production, Minnesota’s offense seems to be doing just fine. So maybe it is actually a good thing that Rudolph has not been dominating the stat sheets this season?
