Alexander Mattison rumbles for 153 total yards and a score in Week 5 win

Fantasy Impact

Mattison predictably filled in admirably for Dalvin Cook, as he shredded the Lions' defense on the ground and through the air. The mere blemish on the stat sheet was a costly fumble at the Vikings' 21-yard line with under two minutes left in the game. While the Lions took advantage of the mistake and stole the lead, Kirk Cousins was able to get the Vikings in field goal range in under 30 seconds, where Greg Joseph knocked through a 54-yarder to seal the deal. The impressive Panthers' defense awaits the Vikings for Week 6, though Mattison will remain on the RB1 map if Cook is still sidelined.
