Alexander Mattison is a 2023 fantasy football draft sleeper at running back and an ADP draft value. Target Mattison as an undervalued RB in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~53 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~67
ANALYSIS: Mattison has showcased his fantasy potential when given the opportunity to fill in for Dalvin Cook, with notable finishes such as RB4 in Week 18 last season, as well as finishes of RB9, RB7, and RB5 in 2021.
The data backs him as well, with 23 missed tackles forced on a mere 77 attempts for an average rate of 29.9%, an elusive rating of 85.8, good enough for 10th among all backs. He finished with only three fewer touchdowns (five) than Cook despite 190 fewer carries.
Moreover, the team signed him to a two-year, $7 million deal, including $6.35M guaranteed. Couple this with the team releasing Cook, and adding almost no depth, aside from DeWayne McBride who was selected 222nd overall, and Mattison is positioned for a massive year.
It's fair to wonder if he can manage the workload and produce the same as the other elite tailbacks in fantasy. However, with an ADP of around 67 overall, he's well worth the risk in the middle rounds as he could pay off on that ADP in a big way.
