Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell has stated that RB Ty Chandler will have a featured role in the team's offense. Chandler had an impressive performance in the previous game, rushing for 132 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. The status of RB Alexander Mattison, who is dealing with an ankle injury, is uncertain for the upcoming game against the Lions. If Mattison remains out, Chandler will be a strong fantasy play.
