Vikings Snap Counts vs. Bears: Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Brian Asamoah Breaking down what we can learn from the Vikings’ snap counts vs. Chicago.
TD catch in London Mattison had three carries for three yards and one reception for a 15-yard touchdown on his lone target in Sunday's win over New Orleans in London.
Impact With Dalvin Cook able to play despite a shoulder injury, Mattison returned to his reserve role and played about the usual number of snaps. Cook's chronic dislocated shoulder issue didn't appear to have any setback, so Mattison again should have a reserve role Week 5 against the Bears.

Takes over backfield late Mattison carried the ball seven times for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Lions. He added one reception for 16 yards.
Impact Mattison settled into his typical change of pace role and had only four carries through three quarters. However, he served as the Vikings' lead back in the final quarter of the game after Dalvin Cook exited with a shoulder injury. Though Mattison didn't get a ton of volume, he made a large impact with a 16-yard reception and trip to the end zone from six yards away. Cook was diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder after the game, so there is a chance that Mattison will get lead-back duties in a Week 4 matchup at New Orleans.

Vikings' Cook out with injured shoulder on fumble vs. Lions
Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook injured his shoulder late in the third quarter against the Detroit LionsSEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Just two carries Monday Mattison had two carries for eight yards and three receptions for six yards in Monday's loss at Philadelphia.
Impact Mattison played on 19 of the offense's 61 snaps and wasn't involved much, which isn't surprising given the Vikings were facing a large deficit most of the game. It looks like Mattison will have the same role as prior years with a large workload if Dalvin Cook gets hurt, but a modest one if the latter is healthy.

Is Alexander Mattison A Lock To Be Dalvin Cook's Primary Backup? | Beat Writers Roundtable Vikings beat writers weigh in on if Alexander Mattison will be Dalvin Cook's primary backup come Week 1.
AUGUST 25, 2022 • VIKINGS.COM
Minimal work again Mattison recorded three carries for 17 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the 49ers.
Impact Mattison was the starting back with Dalvin Cook (rest) out, though he didn't tally a carry after Minnesota's first offensive possession. He ripped off a 13-yard gain that pushed the Vikings deep into San Francisco territory, though the drive ended with a Kellen Mond interception. Mattison will continue to work as Cook's backup once the regular season kicks off.

Light work in fill-in start Mattison started Sunday's preseason game against the Raiders in place of Dalvin Cook (rest), finishing with three carries for eight yards and no targets in the passing game.
Impact Cook was just being rested for the preseason game, so fantasy managers don't need to read too much into Mattison starting this contest. The fourth-year back has proven to be a reliable fantasy asset when asked to fill in for the oft-injured Cook in the past, but Mattison's role nearly vanishes when the Vikings' star is at full strength.

No missed practice Mattison (finger) practiced Wednesday, Arif Hasan of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mattison and Dalvin Cook (hand) both returned to the field after suffering minor injuries Tuesday. The pecking order in Minnesota's backfield appears to be the same as ever, though a new coaching staff could mix things up a little by giving Kene Nwangwu or Ty Chandler a few looks. Still, it's mostly the same deal for Mattison in the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, with his fantasy value largely tied to Cook's health.

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison leave Vikings practice Tuesday with hand and finger issues Cook, Alexander Mattison and Kene Nwangwu sat out much of Tuesday’s practice with various ailments.
AUGUST 3, 2022 • STARTRIBUNE.COM
Hurts finger Mattison appeared to injure a finger during Tuesday's practice and left early, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact The injury appears minor, but it's worth monitoring during training camp. Mattison will reprise his role as the backup to starter Dalvin Cook. He's one of the better backups in the league as in four games as the primary running back last season with Cook sidelined, Mattison totaled 356 rushing yards, 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns. However, he had just 135 yards rushing in the 12 games where he served as the backup. It's possible new head coach Kevin O'Connell could look to give Cook more rest this year, but even then we wouldn't expect a significant increase in Mattison's touches when serving as the backup.
