Who will be the Vikings’ best offensive player in 2018?
By Adam Patrick
Kyle Rudolph – TE
Over the past three years, Rudolph has really established himself as one of the NFL’s top tight ends, especially in the red zone.
Since 2015, New England’s Rob Gronkowski (22) is the only tight end to catch more touchdowns than Rudolph (20).
Last season was also the third time in Rudolph’s career that he ended with seven or more touchdown receptions. No other tight end in Vikings history has accomplished this feat more than twice.
So what will Rudolph’s offensive production look like in 2018 with Kirk Cousins throwing him the ball? Will the Minnesota tight end continue to be the team’s top target in the red zone or will he and Cousins struggle to get on the same page?
