Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or Ty Chandler

Friday, October 10, 5:02 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders (ankle, knee) has been moved to season-ending injured reserve, according to Patrick Walker of the Dallas Cowboys. Sanders was limited in practice on Wednesday before missing Thursday's practice, but now his season is over as he deals with multiple injuries to his ankle and knee. The 28-year-old served as the primary backup running back to Javonte Williams over the first four games of the season before missing Week 5. Rookie Jaydon Blue was active in his place and should step into a larger role now with Sanders out. Blue shouldn't be in lineups for Week 6, but he is an interesting speculative pickup ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

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.
