Should You Start or Sit Alexander Mattison in Week 11?
“Matchup-proof” is typically used in a positive light, but the Raiders’ run game is “matchup-proof” in the sense that there is no matchup that would prove worthy of our attention.
Alexander Mattison is the lead in this backfield, and I think that title is reasonably safe, but considering he hasn’t had a 20-yard gain since September, what exactly is the path to viable production?
If not for a garbage-time score at the very end of Week 9, cutting a 24-point deficit to 17 with 22 seconds left, this Raiders team would be without an outing of 21+ points since Week 3. There is no requirement for every backfield in the NFL to have a running back who deserves to be rostered, let alone considered in the Flex conversation, something of which Las Vegas is proof positive.
