BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler is coming off a strong Week 15 showing against the Bengals. With Alexander Mattison out, the Vikings relied heavily on Chandler, who had 23 carries for 132 yards and a touchdown in the game, plus added three catches for 25 yards.
His 157 scrimmage yards were by far his most of the season, surpassing his previous high of 110. He also set a new season high in rushing attempts, with his previous best mark being 15 carries against the Saints.
It was a great game for Chandler, but it's hard to know what to expect this week because Mattison's status is unclear.
Mattison was back at practice on Friday, so he could wind up playing. If he does, Chandler should still see significant usage and would be a low-end RB2. The Vikings really like Mattison, so he's going to get touches if he's active.
If Mattison is out, Chandler should be viewed as a high-end RB2 with upside. Either way, he deserves to be started in most formats because of how well he played last week against the Bengals and because of his projected role this week.
