Chandler is blocked by a crowded Vikings backfield and is on IR after Week 1; with Cam Akers and Jordan Mason in the mix, he’s a low-probability contributor when active.

Chandler is sidelined by injury, helping to clear path for Akers and extending RB depth for the Vikings while Ridder and Wentz handle QB duties.

Chandler remains in reserve while on IR with a knee injury, leaving the backfield thinner and pushing Mason’s workload higher. His return timeline and role could influence how Minnesota staggers touches once healthy.

Chandler is on injured reserve, reducing the Vikings’ immediate backfield depth and paving the way for Akers to step in and for others to backfill behind Mason.

Chandler could spell Mason in a deeper backfield role if Jones misses time. His value hinges on pass-blocking and involvement in the receiving game; in shallow leagues, his upside is contingent on game flow and the Vikings' willingness to rotate backs.
