Huddle Up: Mattison had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging just one limited practice session during the week. Since he won't see a normal workload, he should be viewed as a risky flex option in fantasy leagues this week if he receives clearance to play.

Huddle Up: With Mattison battling an ankle injury, Chandler could lead the Minnesota rushing in Week 16. Even if Mattison returns, Chandler has likely played his way into a steady role.

Huddle Up: O'Connell added that he was uncertain who would start between Chandler and Alexander Mattison (ankle), but with the latter's status for Week 16 uncertain, Chandler is at least in line to take a lead role. But it's also feasible that the second-year back will keep the role upon Mattison's return, as the veteran hasn't come close to the kind of performance Chandler had in Week 15. If Mattison sits, Chandler is a flex option in a tough matchup against the Detroit Lions' top-10 run defense. If Mattison plays, both Vikings backs are shaky options, as it remains unclear exactly how the backfield workload would be divvied up.

Huddle Up: Chandler took over as the lead back after Alexander Mattison left with an ankle injury. If Mattison misses more time, Chandler could be a serviceable flex option as the No. 1 back in Minnesota.

Huddle Up: The Vikings have struggled to establish a steady running game this season, and they could decide to give Chandler some more touches to try to bolster the attack. If nothing else, his involvement in the passing game makes him worth stashing in PPR formats.
