Alexander Mattison a Breakout Candidate This Season
Former Vikings’ GM Rick Spielman, now an analyst with 33rd Team, tapped a former draft pick of his, Alexander Mattison, as a potential breakout player this season. Last week, Spielman said the following of Mattison:
There are a lot of interesting things going on with the Minnesota Vikings and running back Dalvin Cook. Cook was taken off their social media and replaced with Alexander Mattison. There are rumors the Vikings would like to trade Cook, or they may release him as a June 1 cut to save some cap space. They also gave Mattison a two-year, $7 million contract almost fully guaranteed. So all the signs point to Mattison being the lead back in Minnesota this season.
