  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Staying in Minnesota

    The Vikings and Mattison agreed to terms on a two-year contract Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Mattison has played second fiddle to fellow running back Dalvin Cook for his entire four-year career, but the former has had a handful of chances to shine, starting in six of his 59 appearances. Overall, Mattison has averaged just 4.1 yards per carry and scored 14 touchdowns, but he's also reeled in 70 of 84 targets for 526 yards, good for an 83.3 percent catch rate. There have been rumblings this offseason that the Vikings may be willing to part ways with Cook, so Mattison could benefit in 2023 if the structure of the team's backfield is altered in the coming months.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Scores twice in finale

    Mattison rushed 10 times for 54 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-13 win over the Bears. Mattison's season-best performance included a pair of one-yard touchdowns. With Minnesota opting to rest its starters during the second half, Mattison filled Dalvin Cook's lead tailback role to begin the third quarter. Once the Vikings take the field in the playoffs, however, Mattison should return to his usual backup job.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Sleepers (Start/Sit)

    There's a good chance that the Vikings don't play Dalvin Cook for the entire game against the Bears in Week 18, which means we could get additional playing time for Mattison. And in deeper leagues, that makes him a flex play given the matchup. Chicago is No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and five running backs in the past four games have scored at least 17 PPR points against the Bears, including D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams in Week 17. If Mattison were guaranteed to get double digits in touches this week then he could be a standout Fantasy option in all leagues.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Week 18 Waiver Priority List

    The Vikings will likely play their starters as normal in Week 18 at Chicago, but there's a chance Dalvin Cook's playing time could be reduced if the game is decided to rest him for the playoffs. If that happens then Mattison could get additional touches, and he would be a sneaky sleeper in deeper leagues against the Bears, who are No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Gets more work in blowout loss

    Mattison had eight carries for 38 yards and had one reception for seven yards in Sunday's loss at Green Bay. Mattison played 23 snaps on offense as he got more work once the game became a blowout. He could get significant time or even start Week 18 against the Bears if the Vikings decide to rest starters head of the playoffs.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Limited role in win

    Mattison rushed four times for 17 yards in Saturday's 27-24 win over the Giants. Mattison earned just a 21 percent offensive snap share in the contest, while Dalvin Cook played 79 percent of snaps at running back. With Cook healthy and playing well, Mattison has been nothing more than a handcuff for fantasy purposes seeing minimal involvement on offense. This should remain true as the Vikings visit the Packers in Week 17.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Two touches in Week 15

    Mattison rushed twice for one yard and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 39-36 overtime win over the Colts. Minnesota didn't find many touches for Mattison while a healthy and effective Dalvin Cook played a key role in the team's historic comeback from a 33-point deficit. Cook totaled 190 yards from scrimmage and a TD on 21 touches. With the 49ers hot on Minnesota's heels for the No. 2 seed in the NFC, the Vikings many need to keep riding Cook through the remainder of the season, leaving Mattison stapled to the bench for the majority of snaps.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Just two carries in loss

    Mattison lost a yard on two carries in Sunday's loss at Detroit. Mattison played just nine snaps on offense and was not targeted in the passing game as he had a minimal role with the Vikings falling behind early and needing to pass. Mattison continues to operate strictly as the backup to Dalvin Cook. Though Mattison is capable of making big plays, he has earned fewer than three carries in six consecutive games.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Records fourth touchdown

    Mattison rushed the ball three times for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Jets. He added two receptions for four yards. Mattison continued to operate strictly as the backup to Dalvin Cook. However, he managed to make an impact with his limited opportunity by ripping off a 14-yard touchdown late in the second quarter. Though Mattison is capable of making big plays, he has earned fewer than three carries in five consecutive games, making him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Three touches in blowout loss

    Mattison rushed twice for no gain and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Cowboys. As usual, Mattison didn't get many touches. Nobody on the Vikings played particularly well, though Dalvin Cook actually rushed for a respectable 72 yards on 11 carries, showing why Cook gets the majority of opportunities in Minnesota's backfield when healthy. The Vikings won't have to dwell on this blowout loss long, as they'll be right back in action Thursday against the Patriots on Thanksgiving.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Just four touches in OT win

    Mattison had three carries for 11 yards and one reception for eight yards on his lone target in Sunday's win at Buffalo. Mattison played on 12 of the offense's 80 snaps (15 percent), seeing time on one drive to give starter Dalvin Cook a break. His snap share has trended downward this season with 24 percent or less the past four games, giving him little fantasy value barring a Cook injury. Mattison still is one of the more valuable backup running backs in the league given his production when thrust into the starting lineup.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Week 9 Waiver Priority List

    If Tony Pollard in Week 8 taught us anything, it's to make sure you have talented backups rostered in case they get the chance to start. And Mattison has certainly proven over the years that he's a stud any time Dalvin Cook has missed time due to injury. There were four times in 2021 when Mattison had at least 13 carries, and he scored at least 15 PPR points in each outing. Mattison should be stashed in all leagues for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Scores TD in win

    Mattison rushed five times for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 34-26 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. The accomplished backup made excellent use of his scant opportunity, ripping off a 15-yard gain on one of his five carries and contributing a seven-yard touchdown run on another tote. Mattison's score was his second on the ground this season, and the five touches on the ground were a welcome sight after he'd logged a season-low one against the Dolphins back in Week 6 prior to the bye.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Minimal role Week 6

    Mattison (shoulder) logged three yards on his lone carry and played just six of the Vikings' 50 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Dolphins. Listed as questionable heading into Sunday, Mattison was cleared to play but handled a more limited role than usual while nursing a shoulder injury. The Vikings leaned more heavily on Dalvin Cook (88 percent snap share, 14 touches for 83 yards and a touchdown) as a result, while Mattison played his fewest snaps of the season. Assuming he escaped the contest without suffering a setback, the No. 2 back should see his opportunities pick up in the weeks to come. When he was healthier during the Vikings' first five games, Mattison took on snap shares between 23 and 46 percent.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Officially available for Week 6

    Mattison is active for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins. Mattison picked up a shoulder injury during the Vikings' Week 5 win over the Bears and was limited at each practice ahead of Week 6, earning him a questionable designation. As expected, the backup running back will be available, but it's unclear how much work he'll get behind Dalvin Cook. Mattison turned a season-high 12 touches into 40 scrimmage yards last week and has totaled 37 touches for 154 yards and two scores across five appearances this year.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Likely to play

    Mattison (shoulder), officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, is expected to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Mattison logged limited practices all week after suffering the injury in Minnesota's Week 5 win over Chicago. He earned a season-high 12 touches in that game but could see his workload scaled back in Week 6, given that he's nursing the shoulder injury along with the fact that Dalvin Cook is further removed from his own dislocated left shoulder, which he suffered Week 3. Mattison's status will become official when Minnesota releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Iffy for Week 6

    Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said Mattison (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. According to Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, O'Connell thinks Mattison will be able to suit up Sunday, but official confirmation on the running back's status won't come one way or the other until the Vikings release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If available, Mattison should handle his usual complementary role behind Dalvin Cook, though Mattison could see at least a slight drop from the season-high 46 percent snap share and 12 touches he took on during last week's win over the Bears.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Dealing with shoulder injury

    Mattison was a limited participant in practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. Mattison played a season-high 43 percent of snaps on offense in a Week 5 win over Chicago, though his 12 touches netted only 41 yards. Meanwhile, Dalvin Cook took 20 touches for 121 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Mattison has seen a bit more work than in past seasons ever since Cook dislocated his problematic shoulder, but the starter hasn't missed a game yet, and it's now the backup who is bothered by a shoulder injury. In any case, Mattison's practice participation Wednesday -- even in a limited capacity -- suggests he's more likely than not to play this Sunday in Miami.

  • Vikings' Alexander Mattison: Nine carries in win

    Mattison had nine carries for 19 yards and three receptions for 21 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over Chicago. Mattison played on a season-high 46 percent of the offensive snaps (34 of 79) and got a decent workload even with Dalvin Cook having a strong game (18 carries for 94 yards and two touchdowns). However, it's hard to count on a workload even this large for Mattison unless Cook gets hurt.
