Scouting report

MIN RB Alexander Mattison - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. New Orleans Saints

Alexander Mattison has been about as inefficient as they come this season. Mattison is still searching for his first 100 yard game and hasn't gained 50+ yards since October 1st. He only has a half-dozen targets over the last three weeks, as well.

With a tough matchup against the Saints, he continues to plummet down the rankings. Even with byes this week and an injury to his backfield-mate, he's all the way down at RB24. He's a fringe flex play, but expectations should be tempered.

MIN RB Alexander Mattison - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Atlanta Falcons

Alexander Mattison snap count remains around 60%, but he’s so frustrating to watch as a fantasy manager. Cam Akers is lurking and Mattison hasn’t been productive with his ample opportunities this season. He had just 31 yards on 16 carries in a victory over the Packers last week.

This week, Mattison faces an Atlanta defense that ranks seventh in aFPA to opposing running backs. With Mattison’s inconsistent workload, lack of production, and the Vikings now down a quarterback, it’s hard to trust him in fantasy lineups. We have him ranked as a low-end RB3 at best this week.

MIN RB Alexander Mattison - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Green Bay Packers

Alexander Mattison is down to RB29 in our rankings this week. His perceived workload and talent-level haven't come to fruition and he continues to tumble down the rankings each week. Now he's in flex territory after another disappointing week.

He only managed 42 total yards from scrimmage on 11 opportunities last week. His managers seem to be disappointed week after week. With Cam Akers looming, it's hard to see a path to him gaining back the full workload this season.

MIN RB Alexander Mattison - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. San Francisco 49ers

Alexander Mattison is down at RB19 this week. He saw 25 opportunities in a close contest last week against the Bears. He was inefficient in, what should've been, a plus matchup. This week against the 49ers is most certainly not a plus matchup.

Only one running back has cracked 20 PPR points against this unit so far. Given his ranking and a couple of byes, you likely have to start him but expectations should be low.

MIN RB Alexander Mattison - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Chicago Bears

Alexander Mattison gets a good matchup this week as the Vikings head to Chicago. The Bears have allowed a running back to break 15 PPR points in all but one game. That one game was against the Commanders where Washington rattled off 55 straight dropbacks at one point in the game.

Mattison's day against the Chiefs was saved by a touchdown. He only say 11 opportunities in the game. Mattison sits at RB17 in our half-PPR rankings, but there's plenty of downside in his range of outcomes. Plug your nose and play him this week, but don't be surprised if things go south in the coming weeks.

MIN RB Alexander Mattison - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs Kansas City Chiefs

Rumors of Alexander Mattison's demise were greatly exaggerated, apparently. After 62 yards on 19 rushes through the first two weeks, he's rattled off a coupe of 90+ rushing performances.

Only David Montgomery has been able to eclipse 70 yards against this Chiefs defense. They also have only allowed a single rushing touchdown all year. The matchup isn't great and the game script could go sideways quickly on Mattison. He's our RB21, so he's a fine RB2 option.

MIN RB Alexander Mattison - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Carolina Panthers

Alexander Mattison has seen a decent workload thus far, but hasn't been overly effective or efficient. He did show some signs of life with a 93-yard output last week. With the addition of Cam Akers and the pass-happy nature of the offense, it's going to be hard for Mattison to be a top-tier running back option.

We're still starting him this week, as we have him projected as RB16, but it's clear that this isn't the sure thing that we hoped it would be heading into the year. The Panthers have let three running backs eclipse 80 yards from scrimmage already this season. The matchup might make up for his inefficiencies but he's no more than an RB2.
