BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison was deployed as the lead runner last week with Zamir White (groin) held out of the lineup.
In this game, Mattison logged a season-high 15 carries but ran for just 38 yards. He added 23 yards on two receptions. It was great to see Mattison earn that volume after being in the No.2 role through the first four weeks. However, he did not produce well from a fantasy standpoint which could make him hard to trust going forward.
Alexander Mattison goes 31 yards for the @Raiders first TD of 2024!

During the first four weeks, Mattison eclipsed double-digit PPR points on two occasions but also fell under 7.0 PPR points in the other two weeks.
White is set to return to practice on Friday but could remain questionable and may only suit up in a limited capacity on Sunday. This makes Mattison a high-volume flex option as he could serve as the lead runner once again but does not have much upside.
