2022 Fantasy Outlook
Rudolph made 16 appearances with the Giants in 2021, en route to hauling in 26 of 39 targets for 257 yards and one touchdown. It took until the third week of July for the 32-year-old to catch on a with a new team, but he ended up with the Buccaneers on a one-year contact, with the team looking to add tight end depth following Rob Gronkowski's retirement. With Cameron Brate still in the mix at the position, Rudolph doesn't initially have a clear path to steady volume, but the 2011 second-rounder does give QB Tom Brady another experienced pass-catching option to work with. In the event of an injury to Brate, Rudolph could merit fantasy consideration, but that's assuming he's able to maintain depth chart slotting ahead of returnee Codey McElroy as well as rookie draftees Cade Otton and Ko Kieft.

Sitting out Monday
Rudolph (knee) is listed as inactive Monday against the Cowboys, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After hauling in an eight-yard touchdown Week 18 in Atlanta, Rudolph was knocked out of that contest with a knee injury that limited him to just one limited practice during prep for the wild-card round. Now that Rudolph's status is confirmed for Monday's game, Cameron Brate and Ko Kieft will be the depth tight ends behind No. 1 option Cade Otton.

Once a favorite red-zone target in Minnesota - Rudolph had 15 touchdowns between 2016 and 2017 - his role as a receiving tight end shrunk in recent seasons. Assuming the team keeps Evan Engram, it's hard to see Rudolph's pass-catching role growing in New York, and even if Engram is dealt, either converted wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin or backup Kaden Smith could serve as the pass catchers with Rudolph doing the blocking. At 32 years old and coming off a foot injury on which he was scheduled to have surgery, Rudolph is a long shot to have much value, if he's even ready for Week 1.
