Chandler is poised to see an expanded role in the Patriots' offense with fellow TE Rob Gronkowski viewed as "week-to-week" with a knee injury, NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Not only does Gronkowski appear poised to miss time, but the Patriots' wideout corps is also banged up, which sets the stage for Chandler to be a key passing target for QB Tom Brady, with the tight end's 6-foot-7 frame an obvious asset in the red zone.

Chandler caught five passes for 58 yards and a touchdown on a team-high 11 targets in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

With their wide receiver group decimated by injuries, the Patriots largely relied on two-tight end formations, despite running the ball just 16 times. Chandler dropped a couple of passes, but he also had an 11-yard touchdown and a few other important catches. If Rob Gronkowski (knee) isn't ready for Week 13 against the Eagles, Chandler could be in line for another heavy workload.

Chandler, who caught one of two targets for three yards in Monday's win over the Bills, was on the field for 35 of the Patriots' 67 snaps on offense in the game, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chandler saw just five snaps in the first half of the contest, but his workload increased in the second half, as injuries at wideout led to more multiple tight-end packages. We could see more of that in Week 12 against the Broncos, but Chandler remains a speculative play, having recorded just one catch in each of the Patriot' last four game.

Chandler, who caught one of three targets for a one-yard TD in Sunday's win over the Giants, was on the field for 22 of the Patriots' 73 snaps on offense in the game, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

That marks the third straight one-catch effort for Chandler, who remains a Rob Gronkowski injury away from fantasy reliability.

Per ESPN's Mike Reiss, Chandler was on the field for 25 of 80 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Chandler caught just one pass for five yards on three targets in the game and remains a Rob Gronkowski injury away from fantasy relevance.

Chandler was on the field for 27 of 72 snaps on offense in Thursday's win over the Dolphins, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chandler caught one of two targets for nine yards in the process and remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option as long as the Patriots' star TE Rob Gronkowski remains healthy.

Chandler was on the field for 22 of 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over the Colts, ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In the process, Chandler caught two of his three targets for 39 yards, with the tight end only an option in the deepest of fantasy formats, as long as fellow TE Rob Gronkowski remains healthy.

Chandler was on the field for just 10 of 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Cowboys, ESPN.com reports. He was not targeted in the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, the Patriots spent much of Sunday's game using three-wide receiver sets, but the fact remains that Chandler is a hit-or-miss fantasy option, whose utility hinges on occasional trips to the end zone.

Chandler, who was on the field for 32 of 81 snaps on offense in Sunday's 51-17 win over the Jaguars, per ESPN's Mike Reiss, caught both of his targets in the game, for 25 yards.

EDGE Analysis

With six catches for 49 yards and a Week 1 TD to his credit though the Patriots' first three games, Chandler remains an option only in the deepest of fantasy formats, that is as long as fellow TE Rob Gronkowski remains healthy.

Chandler was on the field for 43 of the Patriots' 86 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over the Bills, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports. The tight end caught three passes for 23 yards in the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Chandler did have some chances around the goal line Sunday, but as long as star TE Rob Gronkowski remains healthy and productive, Chandler is going to be a hit-or-miss option in TD-heavy formats.
