#Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said RB Alexander Mattison remains the starter.

C Andre James (ankle) won't practice today. G Dylan Parham (foot) will.

Related Players: Zamir White

Mattison will hold onto the role for now, but it's not the most lucrative position for fantasy points. Consider him a fringe RB2/3 for Week 9.

Pierce said #Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) is doubtful. DE Maxx Crosby (ankle) and G Dylan Parham (achilles) will practice today.

It looks like Mattison will get the nod and most of the ground game work, but he is in an awful situation with an offense that is nosediving. Dylan Laube and Ameer Abdullah should be involved in the pass game, which regulates Mattison to RB2/3 territory.

Pierce said the Raiders will roll with the hot hand at RB.

The post said Mattison's wife actually went into labor on Sunday right before the game and their baby later that night, and that Pierce sounded pleased with what Mattison put on tape. Mattison had just five carries to White's 13, but Mattison made his mark in the passing game when he hauled in four catches for 43 yards and the team's only TD. Mattison has flashed in the past playing for the Vikings, so it's not a surprise he could earn himself more carries. This could end up being a tough situation week-to-week for fantasy owners of both White and Mattison, however. Mattison is likely available on your wire and if you're in need at RB, may be worth a pickup.

Raiders rookie RB Dylan Laube might be making a move on the depth chart.

Bonsignore's post went on to say Laube has been getting first team reps in the third-down offense, and, he's looked impressive with the ball in his hands. White looked good himself last season, but it was only a four-game sample size. Laube has a chance to make a big jump on the depth chart and is a player to watch this offseason. It sounds like from the post he at least can be the team's third down and change of pace back if the trend continues.

Former Vikings RB Alexander Mattison is signing with the Raiders.

Zamir White's prospects as the No. 1 option in the Raiders backfield only lasted a few weeks, with Mattison very likely slotting in as the RB1 in Las Vegas. The two will be splitting time more often than when Josh Jacobs was in town, though.
White remains a great late-round option.

Vikings are holding a walk-thru today. Didn't see RB Alexander Mattison during the portion open to reporters. Kevin O'Connell didn't rule out Mattison for Sunday's game but spoke more strongly today than he did Monday about the likelihood of Ty Chandler being their primary RB.

A follow-up quote was even more promising for Ty Chandler to continue getting a big load if Mattison misses;

"We're kind of building with the mindset that Ty is going to be a guy we're trying to get the ball to a lot, both in the run and the pass, and if we have Alex that's going to be a huge bonus for the depth and making sure we have our full group available."

Chandler should be an RB1 if he gets anything approaching the 26 (!!) opportunities he earned in Week 15.

Vikings RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) was briefly on the practice field today during the portion open to reporters, but it did not appear he was participating. Also did not see RT Brian O'Neill (ankle). Not looking good for either of them to play Saturday on a short week.

We should expect Ty Chandler to get a majority of the work here in Nick Mullens first start if Mattison ends up missing Saturday's game. That would make him an RB2 option for Week 15.

Alexander Mattison was on his way to his best game of the season (10 carries, 66 yards), but an ankle injury ended his day midway through the third quarter.

The story said there were no immediate updates on his status other than he had a "sprained ankle." Minnesota plays on Saturday in Week 15 so the timing is certainly not great here. If Mattison can't go, Chandler would likely see a bulk of the work and could be a decent play in a pinch.

Minnesota will keep using Ty Chandler in an enhanced role.

Fowler's post went on to say the Vikings are high on Chandler's upside and explosion, once he gets pass protection down. Mattison will continue to start for Vikings, however. Last week Mattison had 18 carries for 81 yards and one reception while Chandler had 10 carries for 73 yards and four catches for 37 yards. Owners of both should probably expect a similar split against the Bears on MNF.

The Vikings are listing WR Justin Jefferson and RB Alexander Mattison as questionable for Sunday night vs. the Broncos.

Related Players: Ty Chandler, Kene Nwangwu, Jordan Addison, Jalen Nailor, Brandon Powell, T.J. Hockenson

Jefferson was trending in the right direction, but we were hoping for a full practice out of him on Friday. If he misses again, Addison and Hockenson should continue to control much of Joshua Dobbs' target share.

As for Mattison, Ty Chandler could be taking a heavy workload in his absence, making him a low-end RB2.
