WorkNFL Nation Fantasy Update: What's next for Davante, London? The Minnesota Vikings have been very loyal to Mattison, whose rebound from a slow start to the season coincided with the arrival of Cam Akers. In Weeks 3-4, Mattison had the NFL\'s fourth-most rushing yards (188). There\'s a reason for the Vikings\' loyalty; they fully guaranteed him $6.35 million over the next two seasons to replace Dalvin Cook. Mattison has gained only 70 yards in the past two weeks, but the most fantasy managers should expect is Akers getting more than the two series per game he has received so far. That seems likely if the Vikings stay close enough in games to keep running the ball. The chances of him flipping spots with Mattison in the near term are almost zero. -- Kevin Seifert
