Impact Mattison only handled five carries during Las Vegas' 20-16 win over the Browns in Week 4, but he compiled 60 yards on the ground. Meanwhile, starter Zamir White rushed 17 times for 50 yards and lost a fumble, which was recovered by Cleveland's defense and returned for a score in the fourth quarter. Through the first four games of the regular season, Mattison is averaging 5.1 yards per carry and has scored a total of three times, while White is averaging just 3.1 yards per carry and has yet to score. It won't be surprising if Mattison forces a more even split of touches on the road against Denver on Sunday.

Six touches and a score Sunday Mattison rushed three times for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Panthers. He also caught all three of his targets for 37 yards.
Impact The Raiders' efficiency issues on the ground continued Sunday, but Mattison vultured fellow running back Zamir White near the goal line for a second straight week by putting the team on the board with a two-yard rushing touchdown late in the first quarter. Additionally, Mattison remained the primary receiving option out of the backfield ahead of Ameer Abdullah, who was targeted twice. Looking ahead to Week 4, Las Vegas plays host to a Browns defense that just ceded six collective receptions for 60 yards to Giants running backs Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy.

Impact Mattison wasn't targeted in the passing game Sunday after quarterback Gardner Minshew looked his way on six separate occasions in the season opener, but Mattison was dealt a goal-line carry late in the third quarter, which he converted for a one-yard touchdown run. Aside from falling into the end zone, Mattison was limited to just 0.25 yards per carry as the Raiders' entire backfield was stymied on the ground by the Ravens' defensive front throughout the contest. Both Mattison and Zamir White will look to find more space to run against a struggling Panthers team at home Week 3.

Makes touchdown grab in Week 1 loss Mattison rushed five times for 19 yards and caught four of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Mattison not only scored the Raiders' only touchdown of the contest on a 31-yard reception in the first quarter, but he also out-snapped starting running back Zamir White by a count of 36 to 23. Opening as big underdogs against the Ravens in Week 2, Mattison once again could see a healthy share of the backfield split if a similar second-half script requires the 26-year-old to be involved on more passing downs than the aforementioned White, who figures to handle the bulk of the early-down rushing work after taking 13 carries for 44 yards in Sunday's loss at SoFi Stadium.
