Ty Chandler

RB · #131

NO · RB · Age 28

FLEX

Ty Chandler inherits a significant portion of Alvin Kamara's vacated carries, making him the primary beneficiary of a substantial backfield opportunity.

Role & volume

Chandler saw a carry share as high as 32.3% in his last game before injury, indicating he can handle a significant workload.

Projected role

With Kamara out and no clear replacement ahead of Chandler on the depth chart, he projects to lead the backfield in carries.

Range (floor–ceiling)

Chandler's recent injury status softens his floor, but with a high ceiling from potential rushing volume, he remains a speculative FLEX play.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

Injury Concerns
Chandler suffered a season-ending knee injury in New Orleans' preseason finale against the Rams in August 2026 and was placed on injured reserve, wiping out his entire age-28 season before it started.
Roster Crowding
Even before the injury he was buried at RB5 behind Travis Etienne, Alvin Kamara, Devin Neal, Kendre Miller and Audric Estime, and New Orleans further addressed the room by trading for Zamir White during his absence, leaving a thin path back to touches whenever he's healthy.

Opportunity Flags

Roster Security
Return-game ability reportedly helped Chandler make the Saints' initial roster before his injury, a thin thread of value that could keep him employed into 2027 if his recovery goes cleanly.
