Alexander Mattison Week 3 Outlook - Steelers at Raiders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 21st 2023, 8:57am EDT

Mattison has played the workhorse role for Minnesota with at least 73% of the snaps in each game. Sadly, it hasn't translated to volume or production on a pass-first and pass-often offense. Mattison has averaged 12.5 touches and 41.5 total yards. With the volume Mattison has received, he has not been explosive or efficient with it. Among 48 qualifying running backs, he ranks 33rd in yards after contact per attempt, 43rd in elusive rating, and he has recorded zero breakaway runs. Luckily for Mattison, this is a get-right spot. The Chargers have the ninth-lowest stuff rate, have given up the eighth-highest rate of 10-plus yard runs, and rank ninth-worst in yards after contact per attempt allowed.
