Raiders' Alexander Mattison: Inefficient again in backup role

Mattison rushed 10 times for 32 yards and caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints.

Mattison somewhat surprisingly ceded the start at running back to 31-year-old Ameer Abdullah, who proved to be far more effective with 20 carries for 115 yards to go along with three receptions for 32 yards. Abdullah likely earned himself first dibs at a larger share of the backfield workload again in Week 18 versus the Chargers, as Mattison's efficiency concerns remain.
