Alexander Mattison Week 11 Outlook - Raiders at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 14th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Mattison had been the workhorse for the team until Week 9, when he played only 39% of the snaps and had nine touches and 36 total yards. The reduction in snaps is mainly due to the blowout nature of that game. The Raiders entered the fourth quarter down 31-10. In the first three-quarters of that game, Mattison played 59% of the snaps while splitting the red zone snaps with Zamir White 50/50. I expect Mattison to resume his previous workload in Week 11. In Weeks 5-8, Mattison played at least 57% of the snaps weekly while averaging 20.3 touches and 73.3 total yards. Among 50 qualifying backs, Mattison ranks 35th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 38th in yards after contact per attempt. Mattison is fighting an uphill battle this week against a run defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest rushing yards per game, the eighth-lowest yards before contact per attempt, and the eighth-lowest yards per carry to zone runs (Mattison 64.1% zone).
