Vikings | Minnesota's offense plays well in Week 17 Sun Jan 3, 05:08 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins went 28-for-40 for 405 yards and three touchdowns against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. He also recorded a rushing touchdown during the game. RB Alexander Mattison rushed for 95 yards and one touchdown on 21 carries and also caught three passes for 50 yards and one touchdown. WR Justin Jefferson caught nine passes for 133 yards on 12 targets and WR Adam Thielen caught four passes for 57 yards on five targets.
| Footballguys view: Cousins set a career high for passing touchdowns in a season with 35 and Jefferson set the Super Bowl era rookie record for receiving yards in a season. The Vikings could have easily been a playoff team this year if it weren't a few inexplicable close losses and they should be better next season with a more settled defense than the one that went through transition during the season this year. |

Minnesota Vikings RB Alexander Mattison (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Dec. 30.
| Footballguys view: Dalvin Cook is out for Week 17 due to personal reasons, so that means Mattison would be the lead back if he's cleared to play. If you're still going for your fantasy championship in Week 17, then consider Mattison as a RB2 with upside if he does play against the Lions. |

TE Kyle Rudolph (foot) also did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful. TE Irv Smith (back) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day Friday, Dec. 11, and is listed as questionable.

| Footballguys view: Kendricks being out helps Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady's matchup outlook. Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah will back up Dalvin Cook with Mattison still recovering from an appendectomy. Smith will be a decent tight end play if he can go since Rudolph'd 98 game starting streak is likely to end. |

Vikings | Alexander Mattison struggles in Week 6 Sun Oct 18, 06:13 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Alexander Mattison rushed for 26 yards on 10 carries against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Mattison was one of the biggest busts of Week 6 as his team fell behind early and he also failed to make an impact on the touches he did get. The Vikings are on bye next week and Dalvin Cook should return after that, so this was a huge letdown if just got Mattison off of the waiver wire this week or played him in DFS. |

Vikings | Alexander Mattison loves running inside Mon May 18, 09:43 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Alexander Mattison ran in between the guards on only 17 of his 100 carries as a rookie, but he led all running backs with 6.2 yards per carry on those runs (minimum 100 attempts), according to Sports Info Solutions.
| Footballguys view: Mattison is a talented back who could thrive with a starting role. Unfortunately for him, he's backing up Dalvin Cook. That makes Mattison a high-value handcuff for Fantasy GMs in 2020. |

Vikings | Tackling Alexander Mattison a chore in 2019 Wed Apr 1, 11:52 PM
Minnesota Vikings RB Alexander Mattison averaged a broken tackle once every 9.1 carries on his 100 rushing attempts in 2019 - good for the eighth-best mark in the league among qualified rushers.
| Footballguys view: Mattison isn't as talented as Dalvin Cook, but the team would not see a huge dropoff if he was thrust into the starting role. We like his game and at times last year Mattison looked like Cook on the field. He'll be a high-value handcuff in 2020. |

WR Adam Thielen caught seven passes for 129 yards on nine targets. TE Kyle Rudolph caught four passes for 31 yards and one touchdown on seven targets, while WR Stefon Diggs caught two passes for 19 yards on three targets.
| Footballguys view: Cousins was able to make big plays when it counted...essentially for the first time in his career. He was not known for making plays in big or primetime games but Cousins was money on Sunday. The Vikings ran the ball well and controlled the tempo of the game with their rushing attack. It will be a battle of two similarly structured offenses in the Divisional Round as they take on the 49ers. |
