2023 Fantasy Outlook

Chandler, a 2022 fifth-round pick, is an enticing prospect with a 4.38 40 but barely saw the field last season. He had six carries on 12 snaps (no targets). That could change this year after Dalvin Cook was released in June. Alexander Mattison is the new starter, and Chandler will compete with Kene Nwangwu and Myles Gaskin for backup snaps. Perhaps that opens the door for Chandler to be the main backup to Mattison. Read Past Outlooks

RBMinnesota Vikings

September 16, 2023

Chandler had one carry for no gain and two receptions for nine yards on two targets in Thursday's loss at Philadelphia.

ANALYSIS
Chandler played on just seven of the offense's 58 snaps, as he got little work despite starter Alexander Mattison struggling to run the ball (3.5 YPC). Mattison played 44 snaps, and it looks like Chandler will have a minimal reserve role in the backfield.

2022 Fantasy Outlook

A fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Chandler had four modestly productive seasons at Tennessee, leading the team in rushing in 2018 and 2019 before transferring to North Carolina for a fifth year in 2021. He flourished with the Tar Heels, rushing 182 times for 1,092 yards (6.0 YPC) and 13 touchdowns and hauling in 15 of 17 targets for 207 yards and another score. In the pros, Chandler's 4.38 speed could allow him to succeed in the right situation. However, he'll be stuck behind clear No. 1 running back Dalvin Cook in Minnesota, while backups Alexander Mattison and Kene Nwangwu both are more established.
