Alexander Mattison Looks To Bounce Back In Week 3

Alexander Mattison Looks To Bounce Back In Week 3

one year ago

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to have a bounce-back effort in Week 3 as the Vikings host the Los Angeles Chargers. Mattison is coming off a Week 2 performance of eight carries for 28 yards and a fumble, but he looks like a solid RB2 option in an easier matchup than last week. The Chargers have allowed 211 rushing yards through two weeks, so the 25-year-old should have an easier time finding some rushing lanes on Sunday. He has averaged just 3.3 yards per carry so far this season, so he may be dependent on heavy volume and touchdown production to have a solid fantasy performance. With Cam Akers not expected to play, Mattison could be in for a hefty workload in a game that could be one of the higher-scoring affairs on the Week 3 slate.
