Well now, y’all wanna know who’s better to start this week, Alexander Mattison or Jamaal Williams, huh? Well, I reckon we got ourselves a bit of a dilemma here. Both these boys, they’re running backs, and you’re tryin’ to figure out who’ll give ya the most bang for your buck, so to speak. But lemme tell ya, it’s not as simple as just pickin’ one. We gotta look at some things before makin’ any decisions.
Now, Alexander Mattison, he plays for them Minnesota Vikings, and this boy’s been doin’ alright for himself. He’s been the lead back over there, carryin’ the ball a lot. In fact, he’s been gettin’ the most touches and carries for the Vikings in their games. That’s a good sign, I’d say. He’s had some big weeks and been steady, especially when the Vikings have been leanin’ on him more to get the ball movin’. But sometimes, even the best backs can have rough patches, and that’s somethin’ to keep in mind, y’know?

Then there’s Jamaal Williams. He’s a New Orleans Saints fella, but he’s been a little hurt lately. Now, I ain’t sayin’ he ain’t good, but when you got a groin injury, well, that can slow a feller down. If he ain’t playin’, you ain’t gettin’ nothin’ from him. And that’s why it’s real important to watch them injury reports, especially on game day. If he’s not in, well, you just lost your chance to start him, plain and simple. Ain’t no point in keepin’ him in your lineup if he ain’t playin’!
But what’s the real difference between these two? Well, Mattison, he’s been a lot more reliable overall. Even on the bad weeks, he still gets his chances to carry the ball. That’s somethin’ you can count on more than ol’ Jamaal Williams, especially since Williams has been hurt. So, if you’re wantin’ someone to carry the load for ya, Mattison’s your better bet, no doubt about it.
What to consider when choosin’ between Mattison and Williams:
- Injury status: Jamaal Williams has been hurt recently. That’s a big worry if you’re tryin’ to start him and he ain’t playin’.
- Touches and carries: Mattison gets the ball a lot more. More touches usually means more chances to score fantasy points.
- Team performance: Mattison’s Vikings have been leanin’ on him more in games, which might give him more opportunities to rack up yards and scores.
Now, let’s talk about matchups. Some weeks, a player might look like a star, but the defense they’re up against makes them struggle. If Mattison’s goin’ up against a tough defense, that might slow him down a bit. But if Jamaal Williams is healthy and he’s playin’ against a weak defense, he might still surprise you with a decent game. So, matchups are important, too.
Bottom line: If both players are healthy and ready to go, and you’re stuck between these two, I’d lean towards Mattison. He’s been gettin’ the most chances to shine, and even on his bad weeks, he’s still out there carryin’ the ball. Jamaal Williams, on the other hand, well, you gotta be careful if he’s hurt. Ain’t no sense in startin’ someone who might not even play. Keep an eye on the injury reports and make your decision based on that.

So, I’d say stick with Mattison unless there’s some big news that changes things. But remember, folks, in fantasy football, things can change mighty quick. Always keep an eye on them reports and be ready to swap out a player if needed.
Good luck out there, and may your fantasy team bring you lots of wins this season!
