BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler tied a season-high in Week 14 with 15 touches but managed just 42 yards. The 25-year-old will likely have some sort of role in Week 15 and could even operate as the starter, depending on the status of the other backs.
Alexander Mattison left this past weekend's game early with a sprained ankle. At this time, it's unknown if it's a high or low ankle sprain, which could impact his availability for this upcoming weekend. Regardless, Chandler becomes a must-add. Even if Mattison is active in Week 15, he's unlikely going to be 100%, which could mean more work for Chandler. After Mattison exited, Chandler handled almost 100% of the snaps out of the backfield for Minnesota. He finished with 12 carries for 35 yards and also caught all three of his targets for seven yards.
The Vikings may be making a quarterback switch and it seems as though they've lost Justin Jefferson again. These two situations are likely to negatively affect the offense. Still, if Mattison is out, Chandler would see 12 or more touches. That would put him on the RB2 radar.
