Impact Mattison worked as the second running back in behind Zamir White, a hierarchy that's expected to be mirrored during the regular season. Mattison shouldn't need any additional reps to get ready for the regular season and will be a valuable complementary presence, so he's likely to sit out of the Raiders' preseason finale against the 49ers on Friday night.

In line for No. 2 RB role As the coming season approaches, Mattison profiles as Zamir White's top backup at the running back position, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

Impact Following the free-agent departure of Josh Jacobs, White heads into the coming season as the team's presumed lead back, while Mattison is line to work behind him in a complementary role that would set the former Minnesota Viking up to be next up for added carries should White suffer an injury. Meanwhile, as the Raiders' second preseason game approaches, Reed indicates that Ameer Abdullah and rookie Dylan Laube are still competing to see who secures Las Vegas' primary third-down RB duties.

Set to join Las Vegas backfield Mattison is in line to sign with the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact In 16 games for the Vikings during the 2023 regular season, Mattison carried 180 times for 700 yards and caught 30 of his 44 targets for 192 yards and three receiving TDs. With the Raiders, Mattison -- who turns 26 in June -- is slated to provide the team with needed backfield depth and a complementary option alongside 2022 fourth-rounder Zamir White, following the free-agent departure of Josh Jacobs. Assuming White serves as Las Vegas' top RB option, Mattison's weekly upside will be modest, but if White is injured or struggles at all as the 2024 season progresses, Mattison could re-enter the fantasy lineup equation.

Alexander Mattison Odds and Prop Bets vs. Packers – NFL Week 17 2023

Explore the latest NFL player prop bets featuring Alexander Mattison when the Vikings clash with the Packers during week 17.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • DATA SKRIVE

Limited on practice estimate Mattison (ankle) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

Impact Mattison sat out Week 15 due to a low right-ankle sprain, but he was able to return to action this past Sunday against the Lions, when he turned two carries into minus-1 yard on five offensive snaps. Fellow running back Ty Chandler paced the Vikings backfield with 36 snaps on offense, but he managed just eight carries for 17 yards and one touchdown. As long as Mattison's health is compromised, he may continue to play second fiddle to Chandler down the stretch, assuming the former is active on game days. In the end, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Mattison enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's NFC North matchup with the Packers.

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • STARTRIBUNE.COM

Gets Week 16 questionable tag Mattison (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact After missing the Vikings' 27-24 overtime loss to the Bengals last weekend and then sitting out the team's first two practices of Week 16, Mattison returned to practice Friday. The running back appears to have demonstrated enough progress in his recovery from a right knee sprain to at least put himself in consideration to play Sunday, but final word on his status won't arrive until Minnesota releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Even if Mattison gets clearance to play, he'll likely be filling a supporting role behind Ty Chandler, who broke out for 23 carries for 132 yards and a touchdown to go with three catches for 25 yards while serving as Minnesota's lead back last week. According to Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com, head coach Kevin O'Connell hinted earlier this week that Chandler could remain in a featured role moving forward on the heels of his big game, especially after Mattison had lost two fumbles and was limited to 3.9 yards per carry and no touchdowns on 168 totes through his first 13 appearances of the season.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Mattison (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact It's his first participation of any kind since spraining an ankle during a 3-0 win over the Raiders in Week 14. Ty Johnson then took 81 percent of Minnesota's snaps on offense en route to 157 total yards in an overtime loss to the Bengals in Week 15, so he may remain the lead back even if Mattison is active for Sunday's game against Detroit.

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Mattison (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in Cincinnati.

Impact Mattison sustained a sprained right ankle on the Vikings' first offensive play of the second half this past Sunday in Las Vegas. The severity of the issue hasn't been revealed, but he was unable to practice this week and thus will miss his first game of the season. Mattison will yield Minnesota's backfield to Ty Chandler in Week 15 and potentially beyond that point.
