Who Should I Start? Ty Chandler or Kalel Mullings

Thursday, September 11, 7:54 PM

The Minnesota Vikings announced on Thursday that they placed running back Ty Chandler (knee) on Injured Reserve, which means he will be forced to sit out beyond the team's Week 6 bye. Chandler was active for the Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears on Monday night but only played on special teams as a return man. With Chandler's injury, the Vikings are now pretty thin in the backfield behind their top two options, Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason. Zavier Scott is currently listed as their No. 3. Myles Price (knee) and Tai Felton are the candidates to replace Chandler on kickoff-return duties moving forward, starting in Week 2 on Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons. In three seasons with the Vikes, Chandler has 164 rushing attempts for 663 yards (4.0 yards per carry) and three rushing touchdowns in 38 games (four starts).

According to team reporter Jim Wyatt, Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) won't be activated for Sunday's contest against the Houston Texans. The rookie practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week. Although he's seemingly nearing a return from his lengthy stint on the IR because of an ankle injury, it appears he'll need at least one more game before potentially getting the green light to get on the field. Mullings didn't log a snap in any of his appearances this season. As long as Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears are in the mix, that isn't expected to change even when he's cleared to come off the Injured Reserve list. As of now, the 23-year-old has no value for redraft participants. On the other hand, he can remain stashed in dynasty formats.
