BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB37
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison has been one of the more confusing players in fantasy football this season. He is the RB27 over the first two weeks, averaging 10.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
The veteran has an impressive Week 1 performance, totaling five rushing attempts for 19 yards, four receptions for 43 receiving yards, and a touchdown, scoring 14.2 fantasy points against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, Alexander’s role drastically changed in Week 2. He had four rushing attempts for one yard and a touchdown but zero work in the passing game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy players have no idea what to make out of the Raiders backfield. However, their running backs have an outstanding matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Carolina has been a fantasy goldmine for opposing running backs. They have surrendered 29.4 fantasy points per game to running backs, the second-most in the NFL. The Panthers have given up 166.5 rushing yards and 1.5 touchdowns to running backs over the first two weeks. Mattison is a solid flex option, given his matchup.

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Bust games are just part of the deal when rostering Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers.
