Alexander Mattison Week 4 Outlook - Dolphins at Bills

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

Mattison finally got going last week. He played 80% of the snaps with 25 touches and 125 total yards. While Cam Akers could be active this week, I doubt he takes more than a handful of carries/snaps from Mattison. That could be a problem in the weeks to come, but I doubt it's an issue in Week 4, especially with Mattison coming off his best game of the season. Among 59 rushers, Mattison ranks 34th in explosive run rate, 29th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 37th in yards after contact per attempt. His inefficiencies as a tackle-breaker are nothing new. This shouldn't stop him from posting another good fantasy day. Carolina's run defense isn't nearly as good as their pass defense. They have permitted the ninth-highest explosive run rate while flopping with the third-lowest stuff rate. Carolina has allowed the 12th-highest yards per carry to zone runs this season (Mattison 71.8% zone). Week 4 Positional Value: RB2
