More Work Coming For Alexander Mattison?

Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said Monday that RB Alexander Mattison "deserves more reps, and he'll get them." Mattison leads RB Zamir White in most rushing metrics this season, including:

  • Yards per carry (5.1 to 3.1)
  • Success rate (47% to 25%)
  • Yards after contact per attempt (3.2 to 2.1)

White also fumbled for the second time this season in the Week 4 win over the Browns.

It's tough to get excited about Mattison in fantasy football unless he truly takes over as Vegas' feature back. But this backfield will be worth monitoring over the next few weeks. Mattison is worth grabbing in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.
