Alexander Mattison Draws Tough Matchup In Week 7

Alexander Mattison Draws Tough Matchup In Week 7

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to get the run game back on track in Week 7 as the Vikings host the 49ers on Monday night. The Boise State product amassed just 44 rushing yards on 18 carries last week, as the Vikings failed to get anything going on the ground for the second consecutive game. With a matchup against the 49ers' defense who have allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards this season, fantasy managers shouldn't get carried away with their expectations for the 25-year-old in this one. In a game script that figures to be in the 49ers' favor, Mattison is a risky option as he may need to fall into the end zone to salvage what could be another inefficient effort running the ball. He is a low-end RB2/FLEX option at best in Week 7.
