Alexander Mattison Finds The End Zone In Win

Monday, December 23, 9:35 AM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison rumbled into the end zone for the first time since Week 6 in the team's 19-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The former Minnesota Viking finished the game with 12 carries for 27 yards and one score while hauling in four of his seven targets for 29 yards. For those fantasy managers who were brave or desperate enough to start Mattison, his touchdown boosted his performance to an RB2 which was his fifth time finishing in that area. The Raiders will take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 17.

DeVonta Smith Has Six Grabs In Week 16

Sunday, December 22, 6:54 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith had six catches for 51 yards in Sunday's three-point loss to the Commanders. The 26-year-old had a touchdown in each of the previous two games heading into Week 16. Although he didn't find the end zone in this one, he still had a decent showing, especially with Kenny Pickett taking over for Jalen Hurts (concussion). With the Eagles losing their third game this season, the team will look to turn it around versus the Cowboys in Week 17. Regardless of who is under center, Smith remains a must-start.
