Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison seemed to have wrested control of the lead running back role for his team in their Week 8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He was highly inefficient with his touches, though. He carried the ball 14 times for 15 yards (a paltry 1.1 yards per carry), and caught five passes on five targets for 29 yards. Most notably, he rushed for two yards, no gain, and negative-two yards after Las Vegas took possession due to an interception by opposing QB Patrick Mahomes II. The goal-line stand took away Mattison's best chance at scoring a touchdown. The majority of his fantasy value appears to be tied to PPR points from high target volume, but he'll have an easier matchup in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals and profiles as a FLEX option in deeper leagues.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs took full advantage of an increased role in Week 7, leading his team to a thrilling 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. With David Montgomery (knee) missing snaps due to a knee injury, Gibbs stepped up in a big way, rushing 15 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns while adding four receptions for 44 yards. Gibbs' first score came on a 45-yard run early in the second quarter, breaking free off the right side. He added a second touchdown just before halftime, an eight-yard run that helped the Lions build their lead. Gibbs finished with an impressive 7.7 yards per carry and one of the top overall fantasy performances in Week 7, showcasing his explosiveness and versatility. The Lions will look to keep momentum at home, and Gibbs remains a must-start against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8.
