John Carlson caught four balls for 61 yards in the Vikings' Week 13 win over the Bears.
Carlson is the safety valve in Minnesota's passing attack, at least for the time being. Kyle Rudolph (foot) is tentatively expected to resume practicing next week. If Rudolph plays against Baltimore, Carlson would have zero fantasy value.
Dec 1 - 5:14 PM
John Carlson caught three passes for 36 yards in Week 12 versus Green Bay.
Carlson was targeted five times, as the Vikings worked in all three of their tight ends. Chase Ford and Rhett Ellison combined for 46 yards on three grabs. Carlson is the guy to own in this committee approach, but he's nothing more than a TE2 in Kyle Rudolph's (foot) absence. The Bears are up next.
Nov 24 - 6:26 PM
Vikings TE John Carlson caught five balls for 69 yards in Minnesota's Week 11 loss to Seattle.
He saw seven targets, three of which came via Matt Cassel in garbage time. Carlson's big play, complete from Cassel, was a 30-yard gain down the left seam in the fourth quarter. In the absence of Kyle Rudolph (foot), Carlson has now strung together back-to-back productive efforts entering a Week 12 date with a Green Bay defense allowing the 11th most fantasy points to tight ends. We'd like Carlson as a TE1 streamer if the Vikings didn't have so much quarterback uncertainty.
Nov 18 - 6:51 PM
Starting in the absence of Kyle Rudolph, John Carlson caught seven passes for 98 yards and a touchdown in Minnesota's Week 10 win over the Redskins.
Carlson's seven targets were a team high, while the touchdown was his first since
2010
. The score was a wide-open affair on play action. It's an effort Carlson is unlikely to repeat going forward, but makes him worth a flier as a TE2 if you're absolutely desperate for help at the position.

PUP
Vikings placed WR Greg Childs on reserve/PUP.
Childs has torn each of his patellar tendons going back to his junior year at Arkansas. He still hasn't returned to practice, and will miss at least the first six weeks. Given the severity of his injuries, Childs is a longshot to ever make an impact for the Vikings.

Kyle Rudolph
Sidelined
Speaking Thursday, Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said TE Kyle Rudolph (foot) "hasn't made as much progress as originally (hoped)."
Rudolph isn't practicing this week, and isn't close to a return. With only four games remaining, it's quite possible he's sent to injured reserve. Rudolph shouldn't be owned in re-draft leagues.

Blair Walsh
Probable
Vikings K Blair Walsh (hamstring) was held out of Thursday's practice.
The injury is to Walsh's plant leg, and is the same issue he played through in Week 6. Barring a setback, he'll start Monday night's game against the Giants.
