2023 Fantasy Outlook
After four years of backing up Dalvin Cook, Mattison will get his starting shot this season as Cook was released in June. Still only 25, Mattison should have fresh legs thanks to a light workload over the years -- in fact, he had career-low 89 touches last year because Cook stayed healthy for a full season for the first time. While Mattison lacks breakaway speed (4.67 40, career 4.1 YPC), he's familiar with the offense, has the frame to handle large workloads (215 pounds) and even boasts a strong track record as a receiver (career catch rate of 83.3 percent at 6.3 YPT). He also has just two fumbles on 474 career touches, so he's as good as anyone at protecting the ball. Rookie seventh-round pick DeWayne McBride might have something on Mattison as a pure runner, but McBride has no history as a pass catcher and fumbled five times in 2022 alone. That should help ensure Mattison is a three-down back. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Garners 63 total yards in loss
Mattison rushed 10 times for 52 yards and secured both targets for 11 yards in the Vikings' 12-10 loss to the Bears on Monday. He also fumbled once but recovered the ball.
ANALYSIS
Mattison led the Vikings in rushing yards and averaged over 5.0 yards per carry for just the second time this season with the help of a 21-yard run. The veteran back also saw two targets for the fourth straight contest, and his rushing yardage total qualified as his second highest since Week 4. Mattison notably outpaced Ty Chandler by six carries, sending the former into the Week 13 bye in control of the No. 1 running back role before a favorable Week 14 road matchup versus the Raiders.

Romeo Doubs hasn't been in a lot of fantasy lineups recently, but RW's Jerry Donabedian loves the matchup for both Doubs and teammate Jayden Reed in Week 14.

Five starting RBs left Week 13 contests early, potentially setting up lead roles for Ezekiel Elliott, Kenneth Gainwell and others. Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard and James Conner topped 100 yards and scored twice.

Roschon Johnson took over the lead role Monday night, but it's unclear if that will hold after a Week 13 bye.

2019
For the third consecutive season, Mattison served as a solid backup to Dalvin Cook, stepping
into the starting role and mostly posting solid numbers on big-time volume when the Vikings’
starter was sidelined. A shaky Minnesota offensive line hurt Mattison's efficiency on the ground
and contributed to a career-low 3.7 YPC, as only three other backs with at least 100 carries
averaged less than Mattison's 1.7 yards per carry before contact. He made up for it by earning
more trust as a receiving option, with 32 catches more than doubling his old career high.
Heading into the final season of his rookie contract, Mattison's spot on the depth chart behind
Cook doesn't figure to change, but the use of both backs could be slightly different with former
Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell replacing Mike Zimmer as head coach.
