2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mattison did well as a backup in his first four NFL seasons and seemed well-situated going into 2023 without Dalvin Cook ahead of him on the depth chart. Instead, Mattison's one-year stint as a starter for the Vikings went about as poorly as possible. Fumbles, dropped passes and short-yardage suddenly became issues, in addition to his longstanding lack of speed/explosiveness. Ty Chandler took over as Minnesota's lead back down the stretch, and Mattison then signed a one-year, $2 million contract with Las Vegas this offseason. The deal is mostly guaranteed and thus gives him strong odds of making the Week 1 roster, but that doesn't mean he'll challenge Zamir White for the starting job or even be a lock for the second spot on the depth chart. The other RBs competing for roles, namely sixth-round rookie Dylan Laube and 31-year-old Ameer Abdullah, might be better options than both White and Mattison for passing situations.

Unremarkable with six touches
Mattison rushed five times for 15 yards and secured one of two targets for six yards in the Raiders' 27-12 preseason loss to the Cowboys on Saturday night. He also returned one kickoff for 23 yards.
ANALYSIS
Mattison worked as the second running back in behind Zamir White, a hierarchy that's expected to be mirrored during the regular season. Mattison shouldn't need any additional reps to get ready for the regular season and will be a valuable complementary presence, so he's likely to sit out of the Raiders' preseason finale against the 49ers on Friday night.

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.

Embracing complementary role
Mattison, who signed a one-year deal up to $2 million with the Raiders this offseason, is looking forward to helping guide new teammate Zamir White as the latter moves into a lead role, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mattison, who actually served as a backup for the majority of his career with the Vikings, noted that going from understudy to starter, like White will be doing this season, is "as difficult as you make it." The veteran added that the right group of coaches and players makes the process much smoother, and he expressed his commitment to contributing in that regard while also joining his new position mates in learning the team's new offensive system.
