After playing sparingly as a rookie in 2022, Chandler handled a solid 123 touches in 13 games last year as the backup to Alexander Mattison. While he showed flashes (157 total yards and a touchdown in Week 15) and had strong efficiency numbers, it wasn't enough to keep the Vikings from going out and signing Aaron Jones to a one-year deal. Chandler won't see starters touches with Jones healthy, but he may be one of the best lottery ticket handcuffs in the league. A quality receiver with good speed, Chandler should enjoy the run lanes afforded to him by defenses as they focus on the passing game. The majority of his value comes as insurance policy for Jones owners, but he's certainly worth adding for some standalone value as well, as Minnesota looks to him to spell Jones often.

Aaron Jones expected to be fine
Exited London game early with hip injury
By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 7, 11:30 pm
|  | Aaron Jones left Sunday’s 23-17 win over the Jets with a hip injury. Initially, he was questionable to return. Then, he was ruled out.
Initial word is that, by the time the Vikings return to action after their Week 6 bye, Jones should be good to go. (Pro Football Talk - Mike Florio)
FFToday's Take: The likelihood is that Jones suffered a minor hip flexor injury, but no official diagnosis has been given yet. Either way, fantasy managers have to be thrilled he will have at least the Vikings' Week 6 bye to rest and recover. If Jones needs a bit more time to recover, Ty Chandler will be expected to handle the bulk of the workload. Regardless of who starts in Week 6, expectations need to be dialed back against a stingy Detroit run defense.
