• Vikings' Ty Chandler: No snaps on offense

  18H ago • By RotoWire

  Chandler did not have a carry in Sunday's win over the Colts. He did not play any snaps on offense and played seven snaps on special teams. Meanwhile Cam Akers had six carries for 46 yards and two receptions for seven yards while playing 16 snaps on offense. It's surprising that Chandler has fallen to third string given how he was used early in the season and without any indications that he was hurt or negative comments from the coaching staff. However, it looks like Chandler will have a minimal role on offense based on Sunday's game with Akers as the backup to Aaron Jones.

• Vikings' Ty Chandler: Just two snaps on offense

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Chandler played just two snaps on offense and didn't have a carry or target in Thursday's loss to the Rams. It was thought that Chandler would get a significant number of touches in the backfield to keep Aaron Jones fresh this season, but that hasn't been the case the last two games. Chandler has played just eight snaps on offense the past two games. He's likely to be more involved in the second half of the season, and the Vikings won't hesitate to give him a large role if Jones is hurt, but he may be a distant second option in the meantime.

• Vikings' Ty Chandler: Just two carries in loss

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Chandler had two carries for four yards in Sunday's loss to Detroit. With Aaron Jones back to full health, Chandler played on just 11 of the offense's 60 snaps. Meanwhile, Jones played on 43 snaps. Chandler likely will get a larger share of the workload in most games to keep Jones fresh, but he's a clear second option. Still, the Vikings are not afraid to give Chandler a significant role in the offense if Jones is hurt.

• Vikings' Ty Chandler: RBs to Sit

  20D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  We'll see what happens with Aaron Jones (hip) this week, and if he's out then Chandler will likely start in his place. Newly acquired Cam Akers could also have a role, and this could be a messy backfield against Detroit. The Lions are also No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and Chandler wasn't exactly great in Week 5 against the Jets after Jones got hurt. He had 14 carries for 30 yards and two catches for 9 yards on two targets, and I would only use Chandler as a flex this week if he starts in place of Jones.

• Vikings' Ty Chandler: Week 7 Waiver Priority List

  21D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Aaron Jones (hip) returned to practice Monday, which was an unofficial workout, but that's a good sign of him potentially playing in Week 7 against Detroit. But the initial report for Jones when he got hurt in Week 5 against the Jets in London was he would be week-to-week, and we'll see what happens heading into the matchup against the Lions, which is tough. But after facing the Lions, the Vikings have the Rams, Indianapolis and Jacksonville, and if Chandler starts in those games then he would be a starter in all leagues. For now, consider him a flex in Week 7, and he's worth adding for 10-15 percent of your remaining FAB.
