Ty Chandler - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

In battle for No. 3 RB role Chandler had five carries for five yards along with three receptions for 20 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Baltimore. However, he may have fallen behind Zavier Scott in the...

Impact Scott had an impressive performance with seven carries for 40 yards. However, Chandler did work with the first-team offense while Scott had most of his production in the second quarter. Chandler was also one of the two primary kick returners, which could give him an edge. Still, this battle may not be decided until late in camp and the loser may not stay on the 53-man roster.

Meager role late in season Chandler finished the 2024 season with 56 carries for 156 yards and six reception for 42 yards in 17 games.

Impact Chandler had an odd season as began the year as the backup to Aaron Jones and even had a big game. He had ten carries for 82 yards in Week 2. He quickly lost the backup role after Minnesota traded for Cam Akers in Week 6. Chandler had just 12 carries for 31 yards in the final eight regular season games, but still kept his kickoff return role. The odd part was he didn't appear to lose his role for any noticeable reason (he didn't fumble or commit obvious errors) and the Vikings had praised him early in the season. With Akers set to be an unrestricted free agent, Chandler enters the offseason as the backup but it's a mystery how the Vikings value him on the depth chart.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • USATODAY.COM

Set to play in wild-card contest Chandler (illness) does not have an injury designation for Monday's wild-card matchup versus the Rams, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Impact Chandler sat out Friday's practice due to an ailment, but he returned to practice in full Saturday and doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's game. No. 1 RB Aaron Jones (foot) is also without an injury designation for the wild-card contest, and Cam Akers (illness) is expected to suit up despite being deemed questionable, per Alec Lewis of The Athletic, so Chandler will likely work as Minnesota's No. 3 running back and primary kick returner.

JANUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice with illness Chandler missed Friday's practice because of an illness.

Impact Chandler will have three days to recover before Monday's game against the Rams in Phoenix. There won't be much impact on the gameplan if his illness lingers, as Chandler has been third on the depth chart behind Aaron Jones (quadriceps) and Cam Akers for a while now.

Five carries in Week 17 Chandler rushed five times for 7 yards in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers.

Impact Chandler barely saw any playing time behind Aaron Jones (quad) and Cam Akers in Sunday's matchup against Green Bay. The 26-year-old running back played just seven of the Vikings' 72 offensive snaps in the contest, though his five rushing attempts marked his highest carry total since Week 5. Chandler was extremely inefficient with his opportunities, averaging just 1.4 yards per carry. Heading into a pivotal Week 18 matchup against the Lions, the North Carolina product remains far off the fantasy radar.

JANUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets two carries in win Chandler had two carries for two yards in Sunday's win over Arizona.

Impact Chander played five snaps on offense as he got some extra time as Aaron Jones was given some rest after losing two fumbles. Chandler is still clearly the third running back, so he may not get many more snaps unless Jones or Cam Akers is injured.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays just one snap on offense Chandler didn't have a carry or reception in Sunday's win at Tennessee. He did have one kick return for 35 yards.

Impact Chandler played just one snap on offense as he's become a distant third option at running back behind starter Aaron Jones and backup Cam Akers.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets limited role on offense Chandler had four carries for 18 yards in Sunday's win at Jacksonville.

Impact Chandler had played just two snaps on offense the previous two weeks after Cam Akers took over the backup running back role. Chandler only got on the field after Aaron Jones missed time late in the game due to a rib injury. Chandler could get some time on offense this week at Tennessee if Jones misse times or is limited with the rib issue.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

No snaps on offense Chandler did not have a carry in Sunday's win over the Colts. He did not play any snaps on offense and played seven snaps on special teams.

Impact Meanwhile Cam Akers had six carries for 46 yards and two receptions for seven yards while playing 16 snaps on offense. It's surprising that Chandler has fallen to third string given how he was used early in the season and without any indications that he was hurt or negative comments from the coaching staff. However, it looks like Chandler will have a minimal role on offense based on Sunday's game with Akers as the backup to Aaron Jones.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Just two snaps on offense Chandler played just two snaps on offense and didn't have a carry or target in Thursday's loss to the Rams.

Impact It was thought that Chandler would get a significant number of touches in the backfield to keep Aaron Jones fresh this season, but that hasn't been the case the last two games. Chandler has played just eight snaps on offense the past two games. He's likely to be more involved in the second half of the season and the Vikings won't hesitate to give him a large role if Jones is hurt, but he may be a distant second option in the meantime.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Just two carries in loss Chandler had two carries for four yards in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

Impact With Aaron Jones back to full health, Chandler played on just 11 of the offense's 60 snaps. Meanwhile, Jones played on 43 snaps. Chandler will likely get a larger share of the workload in most games to keep Jones fresh, but he's a clear second option. Still, the Vikings are not afraid to give Chandler a significant role in the offense if Jones is hurt.

Bottled up by Jets Chandler rushed the ball 14 times for 30 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets. He added two receptions on two targets for nine yards.

Impact Chandler had the chance to serve as Minnesota's lead back for three quarters in Sunday's win with Aaron Jones (hip) suffering a hip injury. Positively, he accounted for 14 of the 18 rushing attempts after setting aside Jones' touches. However, he lost a goal-line touch to C.J. Ham in the second quarter. Chandler's long-term fantasy usefulness is also unclear with the Vikings heading into a Week 6 bye.

Small workload in win Chandler had three carries for five yards and one reception for eight yards in Sunday's win at Green Bay.

Impact Aaron Jones was on a roll early in the game and finished with 22 carries for 93 yards rushing along with four receptions for 46 yards. Chandler played just eight snaps on offense compared to 56 for Jones. The Vikings likely stuck with Jones while he was hot and maybe because of his return to Green Bay. Either way, Chandler will likely get a larger share of the workload in most games, but is a clear second option behind Jones.

OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Just seven carries in win Chandler had seven carries for 13 yards in Sunday's win over Houston.

Impact Chandler played on 22 of the offense's 63 snaps as Aaron Jones got the bulk of work. Jones had 19 carries for 102 yards and five receptions for 46 yards and a touchdown while playing on 38 snaps on offense. Chandler will have more productive games like in Week 2 (10 carries for 82 yards) but will likely see a smaller workload when Jones is healthy and rolling.
