Alexander Mattison Should See Plenty Of Week 17 Work
4 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is expected to serve as the lead back for the Vikings on Sunday against the Lions with Dalvin Cook (personal) out. Mattison doesn't have the upside of Cook, but he should be set to see plenty of touches, especially near the goal-line. The Lions run defense has plenty of holes in it, making Mattison a solid option as an RB2 this week. In Week 5, he received 23 touches and managed 136 yards from scrimmage.
