Ty Chandler is a 2024 fantasy football draft sleeper at running back and an ADP draft value. Target Ty Chandler as an undervalued RB in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~132 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~161
ANALYSIS: Chandler got a brief run as Minnesota’s starter to close the 2023 season. Ultimately it did not amount to a ton of production. Chandler only finished as the PPR RB29 in points per game from Weeks 14-18.
However, he did flash potential in a Week 15 performance against the Cincinnati Bengals when he ran for 132 rushing yards to go along with a score on the ground.

Veteran running back Aaron Jones was brought in as the team’s new starter this offseason. However, he turns 30 during the season, and the Vikings have made it known they intend to keep Chandler involved in the offense.
While Jones surged late in the regular season and playoffs for Green Bay (Jones closed with five straight games of 100+ yards rushing), he missed six games dealing with a nagging hamstring injury. Jones also saw some of his advanced metrics decline in 2023. His finishes in RYOE, MTF/ATT, and YAC/ATT were all down compared to 2022. These small chinks in the armor suggest Jones could be slowing down.
Chandler was not incredibly efficient during his brief run as a starter last year. However, the Vikings have spoken highly of him all offseason and want him involved.
If Jones’ injuries continue or he falls off the running back age cliff, Chandler is primed for a lead role. He's a good bench stash and also offers some potential stand-alone value.
