Fantasy football analyst Sal Vetri breaks down the top three matchups at the three money positions — running back, wide receiver and tight end — every week.
Best RB Matchups
Alexander Mattison vs. Raiders
He returns from his bye week with a great matchup against Las Vegas. The last time the Raiders took the field, they allowed 89 total yards and two touchdowns to Isiah Pacheco. Las Vegas allows the eighth-most yards and seventh-most points to opposing backs this season.
Mattison’s role has been a bit murky the past few games. Back in Week 11, Ty Chandler totaled 110 yards on 14 touches. He outproduced Mattison and was beginning to earn more work in the offense. But in Week 12, we saw Mattison earn 67% of the rush attempts. This was his strongest usage since Week 6 and despite the tough matchup against Chicago, Mattison was able to earn 5.3 yards per touch. You can start him this week against Vegas.
AJ Dillon vs. Giants
Aaron Jones missed his second straight game in Week 13. Jones didn’t practice all week with a knee injury and his Week 14 status remains unclear. This bodes well for Dillon who is coming off his most impressive performance of the season.
Dillon’s snaps increased to 62% in Week 13 and he handled a strong 19 opportunities. Dillon totaled 87 yards against a good Chiefs defense. He now enters Week 14 with a juicy matchup. The Packers are six-point favorites against the Giants. New York was last seen giving up 100+ yards and a score to Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 12. The Giants allow the third-most yards and fifth-most points to opposing backs this season. Dillon is a must-start if Aaron Jones is out.
Keaton Mitchell vs. LAR
We last saw Mitchell in Week 12 when his snaps increased to a season-high 46%. This led to a strong 89-yard performance on just 11 total touches. Mitchell now ranks second in yards per touch this season, behind only De’Von Achane.
He’ll be returning from…
