BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: We're still in "wait and see" mode when it comes to Ty Chandler's true Week 11 fantasy forecast, as his outlook is undoubtedly linked to the availability of Minnesota's incumbent RB1, Alexander Mattison, who suffered a concussion in the team's Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints.
With Mattison exiting the game against New Orleans early in the third quarter, Chandler logged season highs in carries (15) and rushing yards (45) while also finding the end zone on a two-yard goal-line carry. The interesting thing was that Chandler was involved in the Vikings' offense even before Mattison's exit, outcarrying Mattison five to four in the first half.

The combination of Mattison's struggles and a season-ending injury to fellow Vikes back Cam Akers has certainly opened the door for Chandler. If Mattison is unable to suit up in Week 11, Chandler draws a true breakout matchup against a Denver Broncos defense that's allowed the most rushing yards in the NFL to the running back position this season.
Keep an eye on Mattison's status for this Sunday night kickoff. Assuming he fails to pass concussion protocol and sits, Chandler managers can lock him into starting lineups as an RB3/FLEX play in this clean spot against the Broncos.
