ALEXANDER MATTISON

This week's matchup with the Jets is rough, but keep Chark in mind for his Championship Week date with Chicago. He's entering the Week 15 matchup with Atlanta with eight combined touchdowns on the season — five on the ground, two as a receiver and one as a passer. Offer: $6Mike White, New York Jets (20%)White is coming off the sort of game that ends with a precautionary trip to a local hospital, so there are definitely reasons for concern heading into Week 15. Assuming he's available in Week 15, he'll face a Lions defense that just allowed 425 yards and two scores to Kirk Cousins. More Week 15 pickups advice

Herbert will likely be the top pickup of the week — don't leave him on the waiver wire. Mattison took over for Cook and rushed seven times for 28 yards and a strong touchdown run. We're not sure if Mattison will miss time or be limited if he can suit up in Week 4, so Mattison should be widely rostered across fantasy leagues.

Chuck Foreman and Dave Osborn were among 18 former Vikings players invited to take in a spring practice last week. They liked what they saw. The two former Pro Bowl running backs are intrigued with who and what the Vikings have in the backfield. An argument could be made that they have more depth than ever before. The starting running back is Dalvin Cook, who has made three straight Pro Bowls. ...
