Will Alexander Mattison play today? (Injury update, betting impact for Raiders vs. C

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison is listed as questionable for Friday’s Week 13 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Mattison missed the Raiders’ Week 12 game against the Denver Broncos with an ankle injury, and it appears he’ll be a real game-time decision on Friday.

Oddsmakers only released touchdown props for Mattison in Week 13, even though running back Zamir White has been ruled out.

If Mattison can’t go, Ameer Abdullah, who played 90 percent of the Raiders snaps in Week 12, could be considered for the lead role.

Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.

Mattison has four scores this season, but he hasn’t found the end zone since Oct. 13.

He’s a risky bet in this prop even if he plays, as Kansas City has given up just 3.6 yards per carry this season — the second-best mark in the NFL.

If Mattison sits, bettors should consider Abdullah finding the end zone for the second straight game.

Ameer Abdullah Always TD (+265)

Veteran running back Ameer Abdullah stepped in last week and played 90 percent of the Raiders’ offensive snaps against Denver.

He finished the game with eight carries for 28 yards and five catches (on six targets) for 37 yards and a score. Abdullah has now caught a touchdown in back-to-back weeks and he could get a ton of checkdowns from Ridder against a tough Kansas City defense.

He’ll be worth scoring if he’s on the field for nearly every Raiders snap in Week 13.
