Alexander Mattison Week 5 Outlook - Raiders at Broncos

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Oct 5th 2024, 2:05am EDT

Mattison should be the Raiders' workhorse this week with White out. Mattison has averaged 6.1 touches and 41.8 total yards this season as his snapshare has fluctuated from 22-60%. Among 57 qualifying backs, he ranks 41st in missed tackles forced per attempt and 32nd in yards after contact per attempt. While he has 5.1 yards per carry this season, don't let that fool you. His tackle-breaking ability hasn't improved. He has been solid in a small sample in the passing game. Among 40 qualifying backs, he ranks 14th in YPRR. Denver is a middle-of-the-road matchup at best on the ground for Mattison. Denver has held running backs to the sixth-lowest rushing success rate and the 13th-lowest explosive run rate despite ranking 15th in yards after contact per attempt.
