Ty Chandler Looking At Increased Role
2 years agoWith running back Dalvin Cook now out of the picture, Minnesota Vikings second-year running back Ty Chandler is going to have a bigger role in the backfield in 2023. "I think he's going to have to be," offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said on whether Chandler is ready for an increased role. Chandler likely has the advantage rookie DeWayne McBride and Kene Nwangwu in the competition for the No. 2 job behind presumptive starter Alexander Mattison. The 25-year-old former fifth-round pick only had six carries for 20 yards in three games for the Vikings as a rookie in 2022. Mattison's fantasy stock has obviously skyrocketed with Cook gone, but Chandler, McBride and Nwangwu aren't anything more handcuff options for fantasy managers in very deep leagues.
