2024 Fantasy Outlook
Chandler had a big game against Cincinnati in Week 15 last year, turning 23 carries into 132 yards and one touchdown, and with that showing the 2022 fifth-round pick may have bought himself a ticket to back up Aaron Jones this upcoming season. Chandler is a bit thinner than most running backs (5-11, 204) and doesn't have great vision or instincts, but his 4.38 speed and decent hands make him a useful player all the same. It won't be surprising if he has a significant role from the jump this year, considering Jones has a lengthy track record of injuries -- especially to his right knee -- and often ceded a lot of work to other backs during his time in Green Bay. The competition for roles behind Jones is far from fierce, with Chandler joined by a trio of running backs (Kene Nwangwu, Myles Gaskin, DeWayne McBride) that had five total carries last year.

RANKS
Meager role late in season
Chandler finished the 2024 season with 56 carries for 156 yards and six reception for 42 yards in 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Chandler had an odd season as he began the year as the backup to Aaron Jones and even had a big game. He had 10 carries for 82 yards in Week 2. He quickly lost the backup role after Minnesota traded for Cam Akers in Week 6. Chandler had just 12 carries for 31 yards in the final 11 regular season games but still kept his kickoff return role. The odd part was he didn't appear to lose his role for any noticeable reason (he didn't fumble or commit obvious errors) and the Vikings had praised him early in the season. With Akers set to be an unrestricted free agent, Chandler enters the offseason as the backup, but it's a mystery how the Vikings value him on the depth chart.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to be RB1 after bye
Chandler could be atop Minnesota's running back depth chart in Week 7 against the Lions, as Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports that Aaron Jones was ruled out of Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets due to a hip injury.
ANALYSIS
Jones will have a chance to heal during Minnesota's Week 6 bye, but if that doesn't provide enough time for him to regain health, Chandler would take over atop the depth chart when the Vikings return to game action. Chandler struggled to find running room after Jones' first-half injury, finishing the Week 5 win with 14 carries for 30 yards.
