Alexander Mattison Likely To Suit Up Versus Denver

Alexander Mattison Likely To Suit Up Versus Denver

12 months ago

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (head) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The 25-year-old was ruled out in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints due to a concussion, allowing Ty Chandler to amass 15 carries for 45 yards and a touchdown. Although Chandler still might get some touches, his involvement won't be near the level it would have been had Mattison been ruled out. As a result, fantasy managers should pump the brakes before considering Chandler for any lineup. At the same time, Mattison hasn't played at the level most had envisioned heading into the 2023-24 campaign. However, he should get a bulk of the carries out of the backfield for the favorable matchup with Denver, so he at least deserves flex consideration.
