Glazer: 'Vikings can't stop raving about Mattison'

[StickyBun]

The Athletic's Jay Glazer reports the Vikings can't stop "raving about" third-round RB Alexander Mattison at camp."The Vikings have a rookie RB named Alexander Mattison who they were all raving about when I stopped by their camp," Glazer writes. "I mean, to a man, couldn’t stop preaching his gospel." Mike Boone has torn up the preseason for the second straight year, notching 111 yards on 22 touches through Minnesota's first two games, but Mattison (19/71) has clearly been used ahead of the former in both contests. Much like Latavius Murray's situation with the Vikings last year, Mattison is both the direct handcuff to Dalvin Cook and continues to have late-round standalone value as fantasy's current RB57.

Cook and Mattison will be on my fantasy team this year. But I'm also very tempted by an Ingram/Justice Hill pairing. Love Hill so much I may do a naked handcuff with him and Cook. David Montgomery, Chris Carson and Sony Michel will also be mine. And OBJ and Chris Godwin. ....and of course a whole mess of $1 players. This is what I love about auction drafting. You can pretty much name the team you want and just go draft it.

Its probably a mortal lock that the 3 RBs will be Cook, Mattison and Boone. That is an incredibly strong and versatile 3-pack right there.

Plus add in Ham and that is a good looking group!

Naked handcuff...normally that's extra...
