Alexander Mattison

Alexander Mattison has played out of his mind when given the opportunity with Dalvin Cook sidelined. In the four games since 2020 with 60% or higher snap counts, he's averaged 23.5 rushing attempts with 148.2 total yards per game. In that quartet of games, he was the RB7, RB6, RB8, and RB4 in weekly scoring. Assuming Kevin O'Connell doesn't upset the order of things or Ty Chandler or Kene Nwangwu don't hop him on the depth chart, Mattison is primed to remain one of the top handcuff options in fantasy.

Alexander Mattison totals 21 yards in Week 18

Alexander Mattison rushed five times for 18 yards and caught his lone target for three yards in the Vikings' season finale against the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Mattison filled in for Dalvin Cook in four games this season, and showcased his ability to be a reliable bellcow each time. He ran for 356 yards on 86 carries and recorded 162 receiving yards on 19 receptions through those four contests. Despite the strong efforts, he has continued to be minimally involved as long as Cook has been on the field. Mattison will remain an elite handcuff assuming he sticks with the Vikings next season.
