| As a 5th round pick stuck behind Cook and Mattison, Chandler didn't see the field until Week 18 with just six touches for 20 yards, but he likely has the upper hand as the backup, as only raw 7th rounder DeWyane McBride and kick returner Kene Nwangwu stands in his way. The Vikings seem intent to bolster the notion that runner backs have become replaceable parts in the modern NFL, as they have some of the fewest draft and financial capital invested in the position. While none of the backups are currently fantasy relevant, pay close attention to how this depth chart shakes out in camp. If McBride can develop 3rd down skills, his college production, and athleticism give him some serious upside on an offense as wide open as this one will be.

Aaron Jones sticks in NFC North, one-year deal with MIN
$7 million
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Mar 12, 8:47 am
|  | Aaron Jones is expected to sign with Vikings on a one-year deal for $7 million, per sources. (Dianna Russini on X)
FFToday's Take: It's been reported that Green Bay wanted Jones to take roughly a 50% pay cut as he was set to make roughly $12 million. Jones (29) will now wear purple and likely share running back duties with Ty Chandler. He was battling hamstring injuries most of 2023 but did finish the season with five-straight 100-yard rushing games.
| Vikings set to release RB Alexander Mattison
Was guaranteed $2.75 million on March 15th
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Feb 29, 7:24 pm
| | Vikings informed RB Alexander Mattison today that they are releasing him, per source. Mattison took over last season for Dalvin Cook and ran for 700 yards and caught 30 passes. Now he becomes a free agent again, like last year when he signed a two-year deal with Minnesota. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Mattison was guaranteed $2.75 million on March 15th. He spent five seasons in Minnesota and while he had his best fantasy output last year, he failed to keep the starting gig, eventually losing the job to Ty Chandler. Mattison is probably best suited as a change-of-pace back and should land somewhere in that role in 2024.
