Impact Rudolph had an impressive season with NIU, tallying 1,815 yards and 10 touchdowns on 139 catches. His absence from the depth chart suggests he's not likely to feature in that game.

Impact Rudolph put together his best game of the year since Week 1 against Western Illinois, with nine catches for almost 100 yards in the win versus the Chippewas.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

74 yards vs. WMU Rudolph reeled in all six targets for 74 yards during Wednesday's 42-28 victory against Western Michigan.

Impact Rudolph logged his highest yardage total of the season since Week 1in Wednesday's matchup against the Broncos.

Out to face Bowling Green Rudolph (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Bowling Green.

Impact Losing Rudolph and Antario Brown (undisclosed) is a huge blow for NIU. Even if Rudolph has cooled off after starting the year with 104 receiving yards and a score, as he has just three catches for 15 yards since, he remains an important part of Northern Illinois' passing attack.

Impact Rudolph missed most of the massive upset against Notre Dame, playing just 11 snaps.

Northing in close win Rudolph hauled in zero catches during Saturday's 16-14 win against Notre Dame.

Finds end zone vs. Leathernecks Rudolph hauled in all four targets for 104 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 54-15 win against Western Illinois.

Impact Rudolph would have had a solid outing even without his third quarter 43-yard receiving touchdown. The 5-foot-10 wide receiver led the Huskies pass catching room in yards even off one less catch than tight end Grayson Barnes (5-95-1). Rudolph is poised as the WR1 this season and should continue to be even in closer matchups.
