The Las Vegas Raiders will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Alexander Mattison.
Is Alexander Mattison Playing in Week 13?
Alexander Mattison never practiced last week and missed Sunday’s game after going down with an ankle injury in Week 11.
This week, he was limited for every practice, a positive sign and an upgrade over his participation from last week. Still, Mattison is only considered questionable for Friday’s game vs. the Chiefs
Fellow Raiders RB Zamir White (quad) also missed Week 12, leaving veteran Ameer Abdullah as the club’s top running back vs. the Broncos.
White didn’t practice this week and will not play in Week 13. With White sidelined, Abdullah could retain some standalone value — especially as a pass catcher — even if Mattison returns.
We’ll continue to monitor the Raiders’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Alexander Mattison’s Fantasy Outlook
Mattison is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry this season and hasn’t had a 15-yard run since September. A plodding back like this needs to carry significant scoring equity to have our attention, and that’s not the case as a part of the 26th-ranked scoring offense.
