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.

Chandler rushed the ball 14 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets. He added two receptions on two targets for nine yards.

ANALYSIS
Chandler had the chance to serve as Minnesota's lead back for three quarters in Sunday's win with Aaron Jones suffering a hip injury. Positively, he accounted for 14 of the 18 rushing attempts after setting aside Jones' touches. However, he lost a goal-line touch to C.J. Ham in the second quarter. Chandler's long-term fantasy usefulness is also unclear with the Vikings heading into a Week 6 bye.

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.

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.
