News

  • Solid in emergency duty

    Mattison rushed four times for 22 yards and secured four of five targets for 51 yards in the Vikings' 37-30 loss to the Seahawks on Monday.

    Analysis: Mattison took on extra snaps after Dalvin Cook (shoulder) was forced from the contest, and the rookie finished tied for the team lead in receptions and second in receiving yardage for the night. Coach Mike Zimmer labeled Cook's injury as not serious in his postgame press conference, but if it proves severe enough to sideline the third-year back for a Week 14 tilt against the Lions, Mattison would be primed for a start versus Detroit's vulnerable defense.

  • Just three carries Sunday

    Mattison had three carries for five yards in Sunday's win at Denver.

    Analysis: Minnesota never got its running game going and fell behind early, both factors that limited Mattison's involvement. Mattison continues to have an impressive rookie season (4.8 yards per carry) but isn't getting enough touches for viable fantasy value in most formats. He's a backup worth rostering, though, as he could have significant value as a starter should Dalvin Cook get hurt. He also has a good chance of seeing a solid amount of carries in any game where Minnesota has a secure second-half…read more

  • Has 52 yards rushing Sunday

    Mattison had eight carries for 52 yards and one reception for two yards on his only target in Sunday's win at Dallas.

    Analysis: Mattison is the clear backup to Dalvin Cook, but he was impressive in his limited work as the Vikings stuck to the ground game (36 carries for 153 yards overall). Mattison continues to have an impressive rookie season (6.5 yards per carry) but isn't getting enough carries for viable fantasy value in most formats. He's a backup worth rostering, though, as he could have significant value as a starter should Cook get hurt.

  • Just three carries Sunday

    Mattison had three carries for six yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss at Kansas City.

    Analysis: Mattison played just six snaps on offense as his usage was perplexing against a team the Vikings were expected to heavily utilize the run against. Ameer Abdullah played eight snaps as the Vikings used him in pass situations, but also threw a deep end-zone pass to Mattison as well (which was off target). Despite Sunday's usage, Mattison has a good chance of seeing a solid amount of carries in any game where Minnesota has a secure second-half lead.

  • Productive in complementary role

    Mattison rushed 13 times for 61 yards and brought in both of his targets for three yards in the Vikings' 19-9 win over the Redskins on Thursday.

    Analysis: With the Vikings largely in control of the contest and focusing on the run game in the second half, Mattison saw his second-largest workload of the season on the ground. The rookie has eclipsed 60 rushing yards in two of his last three games, and although his week-to-week opportunities are far from consistent, Mattison has a good chance of seeing a solid amount of carries in any game where Minnesota has a secure second-half lead, given head coach Mike Zimmer's preference for the ground attack.…read more

  • Unproductive over seven rushes

    Mattison rushed seven times for 18 yards in Sunday's 42-30 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: This game was a true shootout, but Mattison still managed 21 of a possible 72 snaps on offense (29 percent). While he was unproductive in the role, especially compared to Dalvin Cook's 5.7 YPC on 25 rushes, his rotation in the offense looks secure going forward. The workhorse role that awaits if anything happens to Cook makes Mattison one of the top fantasy handcuffs, and there's a chance he sees garbage-time work in Week 8 if the Vikings can blow out the Redskins.

  • Career-best production in win

    Mattison rushed 14 times for 63 yards and lost a fumble in the Vikings' 38-20 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie actually outpaced Dalvin Cook in rushing yardage and had just two fewer carries, as game script was favorable to the running game for large portions of the contest. Mattison did have a trademark mixed bag of a performance for a first-year player, thrilling with a 35-yard scamper but also turning the ball over on a fumble late in the fourth quarter deep in Philadelphia territory. Mattison will look to build on his career-best day versus the Lions in a Week 7 divisional matchup.

  • Busts through for 52 yards

    Mattison ran for 52 yards on seven carries during Sunday's 28-10 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Mattison made his presence felt early, rumbling through the Giants defense relatively untouched for a 19-yard gain late in the first quarter, setting up a Vikings touchdown. Playing behind a do-it-all back in Dalvin Cook, Mattison is averaging just seven touches per game, but he's yielding quality results with an average of 5.6 yards per carry. Despite playing second fiddle to Cook, the rookie maintains value on a run-first team. Minnesota will be tested this week against Philadelphia's…read more

  • Garners three touches in loss

    Mattison gained five yards on two carries and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: The Vikings' running game was finally shut down in this outing, as Dalvin Cook rushed 14 times for 35 scoreless yards. They were forced to throw more than usual, and Mattison logged a season-low six of a possible 60 offensive snaps (10 percent). Mattison sees most of his usage when the team has comfortable leads like it did against the Falcons (nine carries) and the Raiders (12 carries). With that being said, Mattison is one of the league's top handcuffs since the Vikings run the ball 29.8…read more

  • Records first career touchdown

    Mattison ran for 58 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries during Sunday's 34-14 win against the Raiders.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round draft choice hurdled Raiders safety Curtis Riley en route to a 10-yard touchdown run, providing him with his first career regular-season score in the NFL. Mattison has been profoundly efficient in a limited sample size to this point, averaging 5.3 yards per carry on 25 attempts. In Week 4 he and the Vikings backfield will be facing a Bears defense that has yet to allow a 60-yard rusher, or a rushing touchdown this season.

  • Four carries Sunday

    Mattison had four carries for 25 yards in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.

    Analysis: Mattison played just eight snaps on offense. He continues to be productive when in the game (nine carries for 49 yards Week 1) but is going to have a limited backup role unless Dalvin Cook gets hurt. It's still possible that Mattison could emerge with a goal-line role.

  • Totals 49 yards on ground

    Mattison carried the ball nine times for 49 yards in Week 1 against Atlanta.

    Analysis: Mattison did nearly all of his damage on two plays, ripping off a 23-yard run on his second carry of the game. With six minutes remaining in the second quarter, he got pushed out of bounds one yard shy of the end zone after a 17-yard gain. While Mattison appears to be the primary back to spell Dalvin Cook, his usage will likely remain limited this season, especially in more competitive contests. Still, it was an impressive debut for the rookie, and he's a strong handcuff for the Minnesota…read more

  • Bottled up Saturday

    Mattison had six carries for 18 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Mattison and the first-team offense didn't do much in the third preseason game, but he's done enough this preseason to secure the No. 2 RB role. He's also shown enough promise that he could gain a significant role off the bench and emerge as the goal-line back.

  • Solid second preseason game

    Mattison had 10 carries for 41 yards in Sunday's preseason win over Seattle.

    Analysis: With Dalvin Cook likely to sit out the entire preseason as the Vikings play it safe with their starting running back, Mattison has been the starter in the first two preseason games. His 4.1 YPC on Sunday were a positive sign as he could gain a significant role off the bench and emerge as the goal-line back. He looks set to win the No. 2 running back role.

  • Scores short touchdown

    Mattison carried nine times for 30 yards and turned his lone target into a one-yard touchdown during Friday's 34-25 preseason win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Mattison led the team in carries, and although he averaged a pedestrian 3.3 yards per tote, he made a splash with a one-yard touchdown reception from Kirk Cousins on the opening drive. This was an encouraging debut for Mattison, who has already earned the No. 2 spot on the depth chart behind Dalvin Cook. If he shows he can produce more efficiently with his carries, the rookie could make a case for a larger role when the regular season starts, which would allow the team to spell Cook a bit more…read more

  • Begins preseason at No. 2 RB

    Mattison is listed as the No. 2 running back on Minnesota's first unofficial depth chart of the preseason.

    Analysis: Mattison was a 2019 third-round draft pick and was widely expected to become the backup to starter Dalvin Cook. Fantasy owners should be more confident in his backup role if he's already No. 2 on the depth chart this early in camp ahead of veterans Ameer Abdullah, Mike Boone and De'Angelo Henderson. Mattison could also emerge as the primary goal-line back.
