Vikings' Ty Chandler: No snaps on offense
Ty 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
Ty 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 Minnesota 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: Bottled up by Jets
Ty 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.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 Minnesota Vikings heading into a Week 6 bye.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Small workload in win

Chandler played just eight snaps on offense compared to 56 for Jones. The Minnesota Vikings likely stuck with Jones while he was hot, and his return to Green Bay may have been a factor as well.

Vikings' Ty Chandler: Outperforms Jones in win
Ty Chandler rushed 10 times for 82 yards in the Minnesota Vikings' 23-17 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He was also sacked on a pass attempt.Chandler blew backfield mate Aaron Jones away in production, as he outgained the veteran back by a full 50 rushing yards on just one additional carry. Chandler's lack of involvement in the passing game wasn't ideal, but considering he recorded three receptions Week 1 and 21 last season in part-time duty, his absence from the air attack is likely just a one-game outlier. Chandler's explosiveness combined with the desire to keep Jones fresh throughout the long season, and the latter's fumble at the shadow of the goal line Sunday should help lock in another solid role for Chandler in Week 3 against the Texans.
