BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler was an afterthought most of the year. The Vikings had Alexander Mattison as their lead running back after releasing Dalvin Cook in the offseason. They also traded for Cam Akers a few weeks into the season, but he suffered a torn Achilles a few weeks ago.
Chandler is the RB49 for the year, averaging 4.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has been outstanding lately, taking over as the starting running back. The second-year player has averaged 15.5 fantasy points per game over the past two weeks, totaling 31 rushing attempts, 149 yards, and two touchdowns.
Tonight, Chandler faces the Green Bay Packers in a critical matchup NFC North divisional contest. The Packers have struggled to slow down opposing rushing attacks, surrendering 20.9 fantasy points per game to running backs, the ninth-most in the NFL. Green Bay has allowed opposing running backs to have over 100 rushing yards in four of their past five games.
Fantasy players can trust Chandler as a solid RB2 in Week 17. He has played well lately and has a fantasy-friendly matchup against the division rivals.
