Chandler rushed eight times for 17 yards and brought in all three targets for 25 yards in the Vikings' 28-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Chandler had a robust No. 2 role behind Aaron Jones, seeing only six fewer carries than his new backfield mate and drawing one additional target. The third-year back could remain similarly involved as the season unfolds, considering Jones' veteran status and the goal of keeping him healthy throughout the campaign. Chandler could continue to have some utility in deeper PPR leagues in Week 2, as Minnesota will welcome a 49ers team that could help generate a game script in which the Vikings are trailing in the second half and therefore afford the versatile back plenty of snaps.
