Cousins, Vikings' offense stalls against Browns' pass rush
Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings had to turn away from their short, quick passing game in an attempt to get anything going against Cleveland’s stout defense in a 14-7 lossOCTOBER 3, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
More ground work than Cook in loss Mattison rushed 10 times for 20 yards and didn't draw a target in the Vikings' 14-7 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Impact Dalvin Cook was active and logged nine carries along with six targets, so he was more involved overall than Mattison. However, Mattison did pace the duo in rushing workload, a development that may well have been tied to Cook playing on an ankle that still wasn't 100 percent after only a one-week absence. Mattison could well return to his more customary complementary role in a Week 5 home matchup versus the Lions.

Returns to No. 2 role likely awaits Mattison is expected to serve as the Vikings' No. 2 option out of the backfield Sunday against the Browns with Dalvin Cook (ankle) considered likely to play after missing Minnesota...
Impact Cook was a limited participant in practice throughout the week and remains listed as questionable for the contest, but he's expected to avoid the inactive list, which the Vikings will release 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming that's the case, Cook should take back starting duties for the Vikings, though he could handle a lighter workload than normal if Minnesota is keen on easing him back in from the ankle injury. With that in mind, Mattison doesn't look like a bankable fantasy option if Cook is active, even though the Boise State product is coming off an impressive Week 3 outing in which he finished with 112 yards on 26 carries and 59 yards on six receptions.

Big day in Week 3 start Mattison carried the ball 26 times for 112 yards and caught six of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Seahawks.
Impact With Dalvin Cook (ankle) sidelined, Mattison stepped into the lead role in the Minnesota backfield and put up a very Cook-like performance, proving to be effective as both a runner and receiver. The third-year back is more than capable of delivering big numbers when called upon, but his fantasy value will depend on Cook's health heading into a Week 4 clash with the Browns.

Has 28 scrimmage yards Sunday Mattison had three carries for 11 yards and one reception for 17 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss to Arizona.
Impact Mattison played 13 snaps on offense, slightly up from nine snaps last week, but had four touches compared to two last week. He'll have a minimal role as long as Dalvin Cook is healthy. However, Mattison's workload could increase in Week 3 if the sprained ankle that Cook suffered Sunday limits his snaps.

Just two touches Sunday Mattison had one carry for two yards and one reception for four yards in Sunday's loss at Cincinnati.
Impact Mattison played just nine snaps on offense as the Vikings used the running game sparingly when falling behind early. Mattison may get more involved if the Vikings are ahead and running the ball more often, but he won't get significant touches without a Dalvin Cook injury.

Logs full practice Wednesday Mattison (ribs) practiced in full Wednesday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Impact Mattison lasted just two offensive snaps for the Vikings in preseason Week 2 and has been sidelined from practice for most of the intervening period. Now that he's back on the field and uninhibited, though, he's set to serve as Dalvin Cook's primary reserve for a third straight season. In the previous two, Mattison averaged 8.4 touches for 42.4 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring four TDs in 26 appearances.
