BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB29
ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler was a popular preseason sleeper candidate. Many had concerns that Aaron Jones would struggle to stay healthy after dealing with multiple injuries last year. Unfortunately, the veteran running back suffered a hip injury in the Week 5 win over the New York Jets.
While Jones could play on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, Chandler should see an uptick in touches. However, it won’t be as many as fantasy players had hoped after the Vikings traded for Cam Akers earlier this week.
I think the Vikings just told us how they feel about Ty Chandler by trading for Cam Akers.

The RotoBaller rankings have Chandler as a mid-range RB3 or flex option in Week 7. However, I disagree with those rankings. The former North Carolina star has struggled this season, averaging only 4.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
More importantly, Chandler faces an elite Lions run defense on Sunday. They have held running backs to only 14.6 fantasy points per game, the third-fewest in the NFL.

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper (wrist) is currently dealing with a wrist issue, and was limited at practice on Wednesday.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Calvin Ridley now has eight or more targets in four straight weeks. After a massive 10-catch, 143-yard performance against Detroit in Week 8, Ridley's Week 9 outing was a bit muted as he secured just five catches for 73 yards. But with DeAndre Hopkins […]

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White had an otherwise pedestrian day against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9 salvaged by a touchdown run.
