BALLER MOVE: Bench if at all possible
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Mattison had a short-lived run as the feature back for the Las Vegas Raiders, but Zamir White practiced in full on Friday, paving the way for him to return for Sunday's contest against the Rams.
Mattison struggled to get it going the last two weeks in tough matchups against Pittsburgh and Denver, averaging just 2.4 yards per carry. He did score a touchdown against the Steelers, which saved his Week 6 output and caught five passes for 32 yards in the Raiders' loss to Pittsburgh.
Alexander Mattison led all RBs in expected fantasy points in week 6 according to @FantasyPtsData
Gets the Rams 4th worst run defense this week.

While the matchup against the Rams is a good one, this Raiders offense simply struggles to move the football at times. When you add the inconsistency of the Raider offense to the fact that Mattison will likely cede some touches to White on early downs, Mattison becomes a very risky play for Week 7.
He should only be started in the deepest of formats this week unless White gets ruled out for some reason.
