Alexander Mattison An RB2 Option In Week 5

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to keep his strong stretch of play going into Week 5, as the Boise State product has rushed for 90+ yards in back-to-back games. Mattison has continued to handle the bulk of the backfield touches since Cam Akers arrived from the Rams, so fantasy managers can continue to treat him as the clear lead-back in the Minnesota offense. The matchup on Sunday doesn't play into Mattison's favor, as the Chiefs have allowed the 12th-fewest rushing yards this season. With the potential game script that could be seen in this one, the Vikings could go to a pass-heavy attack which we have seen plenty of in the past, bringing up the possibility of a light workload for Mattison. The 25-year-old is nothing more than an RB2 option this week.
