Alexander Mattison
RB - Las Vegas Raiders
Availability
Alexander Mattison rushed nine times for 36 yards in the Raiders' 41-24 loss to the Bengals in Week 9.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison continues a less-than-desirable stretch leading the Las Vegas backfield, finishing with less than 40 rushing yards in four of the last five games for the Raiders. The running back continues to be difficult to trust for fantasy managers ahead of a Week 10 bye for the Raiders.
Alexander Mattison carried the ball 14 times for 15 yards and caught all five of his targets for 29 yards in a 27-20 loss to the Chiefs in Week 8.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison couldn't get anything going on the ground, averaging just 1.1 yards per carry against a tough Chiefs defense. He was able to salvage his afternoon with a decent performance in the passing game as he tied his season-high with five catches. After opening the season as a backup, Mattison has overtaken Zamir White as the Raiders' lead back as White had only two carries in the loss. Mattison will be a high-end RB3 in Week 9 against the Bengals.
Alexander Mattison rushed 23 times for 92 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams. He added three catches for 31 yards in the passing attack.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison was the clear lead back in Week 7, receiving 20 more carries than Zamir White. The Raiders' backfield split will be worth monitoring as the season progresses, but Mattison has clearly become more involved than some expected. Mattison faces the Chiefs in Week 8 and will be a risky start due to his offense's limited touchdown opportunities.
Alexander Mattison ran for 33 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries in the Raiders 32-13 loss against the Steelers. He also caught 5-of-5 targets for 32 yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison scored a touchdown on the Raiders opening drive of the game. He once again led the backfield with Zamir White sidelined. He'll remain a borderline mid-to-low-end RB2 play for as long as White is sidelined.
Alexander Mattison carried the ball 15 times for 38 yards and added two catches for 23 yards in a 34-18 loss to the Broncos in Week 5.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison got the start with Zamir White (groin) missing the game, but he was held to just 2.5 yards per carry in the contest. He was also outproduced by Ameer Abdullah, who gained 42 yards and scored on just five carries. Mattison will presumably remain the starter if White's injury lingers but his upside is limited. The Raiders face off against the Steelers in Week 6.
