Alexander Mattison is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 11 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 65% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Running back Alexander Mattison of the Las Vegas Raiders enters Week 11 following his bye, making him a potential option on the waiver wire.
In Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Boise State alum managed only nine carries for 36 yards due to the Raiders falling behind early, limiting their run game opportunities.
Mattison's lack of involvement in the passing game was notable, as he saw zero targets. His teammate, Zamir White, found the end zone on a goal-line carry, which could indicate a shift in short-yardage responsibilities.
Zamir White subs in at the goal line for a TD after Alexander Mattison was in for most of the drive. It's a mess for fantasy. https://t.co/IBFmPUR96m

This week, the Raiders face a Miami Dolphins defense that has been stingy against wide receivers but allows the ninth-most fantasy points per game to running backs.
This matchup provides some appeal, but the 26-year-old remains a risky, hit-or-miss option. His limited passing game role and competition for goal-line touches reduce his fantasy upside, making him a flex consideration only if you are in a bind.
Mattison's starting role and favorable matchup for fantasy managers in larger leagues could offer some value, but he will need increased passing involvement to be fantasy-relevant. If you are looking for a flex in deeper formats, he is worth a shot, but temper expectations.
