BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, Dynasty Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: This recommendation is for anyone who is operating with a deeper bench. Ty Chandler was limited to just 12 snaps, six touches, and 20 total yards during his 2022 rookie season.
However, Chandler completed the 40-yard dash in 4.38 at the 2022 NFL Combine, and his favorable blend of speed and versatility provides the potential for him to emerge as the direct backup to Alexander Mattison in his second season.
Chandler was expected to compete with 2021 fourth-round selection Kene Nwangwu, and rookie DeWayne McBride for that opportunity. However, Nwangwu has begun the year on injured reserved (leg), while the Vikings waived McBride on August 29. Minnesota also signed Myles Gaskin on the following day but he should not impede Chandler from evolving into a consistent RB2 role in Kevin O’Connell’s offense.
Mattison accumulated 44 total yards on 14 touches when Minnesota hosted Tampa Bay, and should operate with the most extensive workload of his career. Chander was the only other back to register a rushing attempt (three) while also capturing his only target.
Even though Chandler's numbers were modest, his weekly touch totals should expand as he operates behind Mattison. His contingent value also supplies the primary enticement for adding him to your rosters.
