Alexander Mattison is signing with the Las Vegas Raiders after visiting with the team.
Fantasy Impact
It’s been quite the journey for Mattison, who started his career as the backup for Dalvin Cook then earned the starting job for the Vikings in 2023 before being released in 2024. His main competition for touches as of now is from Zamir White, who showed great ability at the end of 2023 while filling in for former Raider Josh Jacobs. Things could change during the draft, so fantasy managers should keep close tabs on this situation.
Free agent RB Alexander Mattison is set to visit with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison, a third-round pick from the 2019 NFL Draft, spent the first five seasons of his career with the Vikings. Operating as the RB1 in 2023, Mattison combined for 892 scrimmage yards and three total touchdowns but averaged just 3.9 yards per rush attempt. With Josh Jacobs in Green Bay, the Raiders could take a bet on Mattison bouncing back, pairing him with RB Zamir White.
The Vikings informed Alexander Mattison that they are releasing him.
Fantasy Impact
Mattison took over last season for Dalvin Cook and ran for 700 yards with 30 receptions. After opening the season as the workhorse, Ty Chandler eventually cut into his role. Chandler currently figures to lead the Vikings backfield, but they'll likely bring in another running back this offseason through free agency or the NFL Draft.
