Alexander Mattison Cedes Work In Week 7
one year ago

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison put forth another uninspiring showing in Monday's 22-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers, rushing eight times for 39 yards with two catches (three targets) for three yards. Mattison teased a big night was in store after rushing for 19 yards on the first play from scrimmage, but that hope never materialized. The 25-year-old just missed a short receiving touchdown in the third period, which forced Minnesota to settle for a field goal. Mattison has been granted plenty of opportunities as the Vikings' bell-cow back, but he's mostly squandered his promotion this year. Epitomizing fantasy's dead-zone mold, Mattison's RB2 life is gasping for air while working in rotation with Cam Akers, who out-touched him 12-10 Monday, in one of the NFL's pass-heaviest offenses. A Swiss cheese Green Bay Packers run defense in Week 8 offers a get-right spot for Mattison.
