Alexander Mattison A FLEX Option Versus Bears
11 months agoMinnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison will look to bounce back in Week 12 after a lackluster performance last week where he carried the ball 18 times for 81 yards and lost a fumble against the Broncos. The Boise State product will go against a Bears defense that has allowed just 875 yards and 3.4 yards per carry this season, so the 25-year-old looks like a touchdown-dependent FLEX option at best this week. Mattison hasn't been short of volume in favorable game scripts this season, so he figures to get his fair share of opportunity in what should be a neutral script for the Minnesota offense. However, Ty Chandler was able to outproduce Mattison last week on just 14 touches, so fantasy managers should consider the possibility that Mattison could lose some work to his explosive backfield mate in this one.
