Who Should I Start? Joshua Kelley or Ty Chandler

Tuesday, October 15, 8:07 PM

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent running back Joshua Kelley to their practice squad on Tuesday and promoted defensive back Tre Avery from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move. Kelley comes to the Titans after spending training camp this summer with the New York Giants before they released him prior to the start of the regular season. The 26-year-old was originally drafted in the fourth round by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2020 out of UCLA. Kelley spent his first four years in the NFL in LA, averaging 3.6 yards per carry while scoring six rushing touchdowns on 320 total carries. For now, he'll provide extra depth at RB for Tennessee after Tyjae Spears suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 6 loss to the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. For now, fantasy managers can continue to ignore Kelley.

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. Chandler's 21-day practice window was opened this past Wednesday, but his return will wait at least another week. The 27-year-old suffered a knee injury during Minnesota's Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears and has been on Injured Reserve ever since. The 2022 fifth-round pick would serve as a quality depth option behind top running backs Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason upon returning, while contributing primarily as a return man on special teams. Chandler will look to be activated for the Vikings' Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. He can be left on the waiver wire in the majority of redraft fantasy football leagues at this time.
