Ty Chandler 2024 Outlook: High-End Handcuff Option
6 months agoMinnesota Vikings' running back Ty Chandler was a late-season waiver wire pickup in 2023 after Cam Akers (Achilles) suffered a season-ending injury and Alexander Mattison suffered from fumbling and inefficiency issues. Chandler rewarded fantasy managers who started him in Round 1 of the fantasy playoffs, as he posted a Week 15 stat line of 23 carries for 132 yards and a touchdown alongside three receptions for 25 yards. In weeks that he started, Chandler was a serviceable RB option. He enters 2024 as the clear-cut backup to Aaron Jones, who is entering his age 29 season after missing six games a season ago. Jones will be the starter in Minnesota, but Chandler will see action as the RB2 and is a great late-round pick given Jones' injury history. If you draft Jones, do not leave drafts without Chandler on your bench. Even without rostering Jones, Chandler is a solid zero-RB target given his high upside in the event of a Jones injury.
