Kyle Rudolph, Eric Kendricks Don't Practice
4 years agoMinnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. Rudolph has missed the last two games and appears to be on track to miss his third straight contest on a short week against the Saints on Christmas Day this Friday. Irv Smith Jr. has caught seven passes for 100 yards and a touchdown the last two games combined without Rudolph in the lineup, so Smith will once again be a TE2 sleeper in DFS and deep leagues against New Orleans if Rudolph is inactive. Kendricks is a must-start IDP linebacker when he's healthy, but the 28-year-old is in line to miss his fourth straight game. The Vikings are uncertain if he'll play again this year. Against a strong Saints offense on Friday, the Vikings defensive unit needs to be ignored.
