Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20, according to head coach Antonio Pierce.
Huddle Up: Mattison suffered the injury during the last game, so fantasy players will need to check on his status later in the week. He can be a flex option in most leagues if he is cleared to play.

Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) will not return to the Week 11 game because of his ankle injury.
Huddle Up: The Raiders lost both Mattison and Zamir White to injury, so fantasy players will need to monitor the situation over the next few days. Mattison can be a flex option in most leagues when healthy, but he may not be available depending on the severity of his injury.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the Week 11 game and is considered questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to keep an eye on the situation to see how long Mattison will be sidelined. He has been sharing playing time with Zamir White and can be a flex option in most leagues when healthy.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison carried nine times for 36 yards in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Mattison was not targeted in the passing game.
Huddle Up: Mattison has been decent for his fantasy managers in 2024, but it has almost been entirely due to volume. Zamir White ate into that volume this week - even stealing a short touchdown run - and Mattison was not given any chances to make up for as a receiver. Mattison should not be considered anything more than a volume-based flex option after the team's Week 10 bye.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison carried the ball 14 times for 15 yards (1.1 YPC) during the team's Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He added five receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards.
Huddle Up: Just in case you thought last week was a fluke, Mattison had 19 touches to two for Zamir White, so clearly he has become RB1 in Las Vegas. Las Vegas' offense isn't potent enough to push Mattison into the upper echelons of fantasy backs, but as long as the veteran keeps getting a lot of opportunities he's worth using as your No. 3 back or flex.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison rushed 23 times for 92 yards and caught three passes for 31 yards in a 20-15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7.
Huddle Up: Even with Zamir White back from injury, Mattison continued to handle a bulk of the backfield touches. It appears he has become the lead back for the Raiders, and the heavy workload gives him a decent floor as a flex play.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison rushed 14 times for 33 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 32 yards in a 32-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6.
Huddle Up: Mattison has been handling a bulk of the carries with Zamir White sidelined, and while he has been incredibly inefficient, Mattison's workload as a starter gives him flex potential.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison rushed 15 times for 38 yards and caught two passes for 23 yards in a 34-18 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 5.
Huddle Up: Mattison drew the start in place of the injured Zamir White, and while he dominated the backfield touches, Mattison didn't exactly make the most of the opportunities. Even if White remains sidelined, Mattison is no more than a flex play.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison deserves more reps, and he will receive them, according to head coach Antonio Pierce.
Huddle Up: Mattison had five carries for 60 yards in Week 4, and his role increase will directly impact Zamir White. White is the RB49 in PPR leagues while Mattison is the RB29. Mattison is a flex candidate with upside, and White is more of a depth back that maybe you could acquire on the cheap to handcuff to Mattison.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Alexander Mattison posted five rushed for a game-high 60 yards in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns, and he did not have a reception on just one target.
Huddle Up: Mattison outgained Zamir White in rushing yardage despite 12 fewer carries. He could see a few more touches, particularly in the run game, heading into Week 5 against the Denver Broncos. If he is available, add Mattison as a reserve, but do not start him just yet.
