BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Alexander Mattison has been included among the weekly recommendations throughout the season. This return visit to the column serves as a reminder that his path to a substantial workload remains unencumbered if Dalvin Cook is suddenly unable to perform as Minnesota’s workhorse back.
Cook’s 73% snap share is the highest percentage of his career which underscores his unquestioned role s Minnesota’s lead back. Cook is also averaging 16.5 attempts and 77.3 yards per game during his first season in Kevin O’Connell’s offense.
Even though Mattison generated his third touchdown of the season in Week 13, his current workload prevents him from attaining standalone value (4.0 attempts/14.5 yards per game). However, there is no discernible threat to his ongoing status as the direct backup to Cook.
That provides the incentive for adding Mattison if Cook is currently on your roster. Mattison remains available in 65% of all leagues but interest would ignite if Cook is suddenly forced to the sideline for any reason. Having Mattison stashed on your bench would supply you with a resource who could deliver borderline RB1 output if that scenario transpires.
