2024 Season Outlooks

Chandler will open the season as the No. 2 running back for the Vikings, and he's worth drafting as a sleeper with a late-round pick in all leagues. Aaron Jones will open the year as the starter in Minnesota, but the 29-year-old struggled to stay healthy in 2023 with the Packers. Chandler started last season as the backup to Alexander Mattison, but Chandler looked like the best running back in Minnesota to close the season. He finished the year with six games with double digits in touches, and Chandler averaged 12.9 PPR points in those outings. We'll see how Kevin O'Connell plans to use Jones and Chandler in tandem, but don't be surprised if Chandler ends up as the more valuable Vikings running back, especially at a reduced cost.

Chandler returns to the Vikings for his third season, this time backing up new teammate Aaron Jones. Chandler took over as the starter in Week 15 last season and turned in a 26-touch, 157-yard performance, including a touchdown. Unfortunately, he failed to get enough volume in the subsequent weeks and couldn't crack the top 25 at RB. Chandler will continue his usual backup role in what may be one of the lowest-volume rush attacks in the league, so he's worth no more than a late pick.
