Has the time come for the Vikings to turn the backfield into a Ty Chandler-led committee?
Chandler led all skill players in Sunday night's loss at the Broncos with 110 yards from scrimmage, showing the 4.38-second speed he flashed in the 40-yard dash as well as needed patience and vision behind some inconsistent blocking.
Perhaps the most important stat to a coaching staff fighting a league-high 14 lost fumbles: Chandler had zero fumbles. Running back Alexander Mattison lost his second fumble of the season — again during a one-score loss like the Eagles game.
Chandler is gaining trust from Vikings coaches by making plays and refining the nuances of his game, which could lead to an even bigger role.
