Draft note

by John Paulsen

Mattison finished as the No. 59 as a rookie, but his draft day value doesn’t stem from his weekly usage. He backs up Dalvin Cook, who is threatening to hold out and even if he does play, there’s a decent chance that he re-injures his shoulder. Mattison averaged 4.62 YPC as a rookie and showed some ability as a receiver, catching 10 of 12 targets for 82 yards. Given his eighth-round price tag Mattison is a little too pricey to be a prime Zero RB target, but he’s the type of player that fantasy owners should be looking for when going Zero RB.

UPDATE: Cook was added to the report as questionable, but is expected to resume his normal workload according to head coach Mike Zimmer.

Fantasy Impact:

Big news for the Vikings offense after sputtering in the run game in Week 6. Minnesota's defense will be without their top four cornerbacks, so all offensive weapons will be needed to keep up with the Green Bay Packers.

MIN RB Alexander Mattison - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs Atlanta

With Dalvin Cook missing the second half of last week’s matchup against Seattle with a groin injury, Mattison took on the lead role and delivered with 20 carries for 112 yards and three receptions for 24 yards. With Cook being a non-participant in practice all this week, it would make sense if he sat out with an impending bye week, leaving Mattison as the lead back in Week 6 against a terrible Atlanta defense.

Whether he was the #1 waiver add this week or handcuff all season, Mattison should pay big dividends for fantasy managers as Atlanta’s 17th in aFPA to RBs this season. Mattison is a clear-cut RB1 in this one.
