Alexander Mattison Week 6 Outlook - Steelers at Raiders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Mattison should be the lead back again this week. Last week, he was the RB29 in fantasy, playing 57% of the snaps with 17 touches and 61 total yards. This offense is a dumpster fire outside of Brock Bowers. The offensive line ranks 16th in yards before contact per attempt. Mattison has simply gotten what is blocked and very little else this season, ranking 49th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 37th in yards after contact per attempt. Mattison will spend Week 6 running into brick walls. Pittsburgh has stood pat with the second-lowest explosive run rate, the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the 11th-lowest missed tackle rate allowed.
