Kyle Rudolph caught five passes for 58 yards in Sunday’s win over the Rams.

Rudolph make a couple nice grabs in coverage and now has at least five receptions in six-straight games. He’s a low-end TE1 option in Week 12 with a boost in PPR leagues. The Lions held him to two receptions for 34 yards earlier this season.

Niles Paul catches two passes against the Saints.

Paul gained 11 yards on his two receptions, and he also had a five-yard carry in the game. His role isn’t big enough to be a reliable fantasy option, even if Jordan Reed (hamstring) remains out.

Matt Forte (knee) did not practice today.

Coming off the bye, this isn’t a great sign for Forte’s Week 12 status. He’s been able to play with just a late practice in the week, so don’t count him out just yet, though. We’ll update you on Forte’s practice status throughout the week.

Allen Hurns (ankle) did not practice today.

Hurns is dealing with a week-to-week ankle injury and might miss his second straight game this week against the Cardinals. It’s still early in the week, though, so maybe he’ll get healthy enough to play on Sunday.

Adam Thielen scores for third-straight week as Vikings handle Rams.

Thielen caught six passes for 123 yards, with the highlight being a 65-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the fourth quarter to put Minnesota up 21-7. A legitimate star, Thielen has a combined 14 receptions for 289 yards and two touchdowns over the past two weeks. He needs to be in lineups against the Lions on Thanksgiving.

Samaje Perine handeld workhorse role in Week 11.

Unfortunately, Chris Thompson left the game with a leg injury that will almost certainly end his season, and with Rob Kelly already out for the season, Perine was relied upon heavily by the Redskins. The rookie from Oklahoma carried 23 times fro 117 yards and a touchdown while adding a nine-yard reception against the Saints. In Jay Gruden’s offense, Perine might be a 20+ touch guy moving forward and should be the top waiver-wire pickup in standard leagues if he’s available in your league. Remember, Perine has also shown to be very capable as a receiver too, and he’ll have a chance here to show he can be the lead guy in 2018.

Mike Tolbert (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis today.

A full participation would’ve been better, but this is a good start to the week for Tolbert.
