Ty Chandler

Ty Chandler (knee) has been placed on Injured Reserve, knocking him out at least four games.

Fantasy Impact

Chandler operated as a kick returner for the Vikings in their season opening win against the Bears. His fantasy value was minimal as the RB3 of the offense behind Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason, but his role could have grown if either went down.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said RB Ty Chandler will miss the next few weeks.

Fantasy Impact

Chandler is dealing with a knee injury. It is unclear as of now if he will be placed on injured reserve.

Ty Chandler carried the ball twice for two yards in the Vikings' 23-22 loss to the Cardinals in Week 13.

Fantasy Impact

Chandler made minimal impact as part of the Minnesota offense, finishing with less than 20 offensive yards in each of the last seven games. The running back known more for his pass-catching prowess can remain off rosters in all formats ahead of a Week 14 contest against the Atlanta Falcons.

Ty Chandler failed to log even a single touch in Thursday's 30-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

The Vikings didn't make much of an effort to get Chandler involved on Thursday. He failed to record even a single touch on the night, whereas Aaron Jones saw a total of 21 touches out of the backfield. It's clear that this backfield belongs to Jones for as long as he can stay healthy and on the field.

Ty Chandler rushed twice for four yards in the Vikings' 31-29 Week loss to the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Chandler was relegated to more of a minor role with No. 1 running back Aaron Jones receiving the majority of the backfield work in a losing effort Sunday. The speedy running back should not be trusted in all formats unless Jones is unable to suit up for the Vikings, with a Thursday night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8 up next.
