While he was never called on for more than mop-up or breather duty, Mattison did well to live up to the hype he got last offseason. The former 3rd round pick put together a strong 4.6 yards-per-carry average on his 100 attempts, and showed he's more than capable of filling in if Cook's threat to hold-out comes to fruition. Mattison is one of the few MUST HAVE handcuffs in fantasy, both because he's actually got starting caliber talent, and he'll likely get a largely undisputed role if Cook isn't playing. There is always that one owner who likes to grab back-up runners with upside, so if you own Cook be prepared to pay a draft premium for peace of mind.

Dalvin Cook out Week 17 due to personal matter
Death in the family
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Dec 30, 11:35 am
|  | #Vikings RB Dalvin Cook has returned home to Miami after his father, James, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday.
Cook wanted to finish out an All-Pro caliber season, but felt it was best to be back home with his younger siblings. He won't play Sunday against the #Lions. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Alexander Mattison (concussion) missed Week 16 but would presumably get the start if he's able to clear the protocol. Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah will also be available.
|  Alexander Mattison downgraded to Out with illness
Mike Boone could see work behind Cook

| | Vikings’ RB Alexander Mattison was downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against Jacksonville due to an illness. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This is interesting to note as Dalvin Cook got banged up a bit last week and head coach Mike Zimmer indicated they need to be mindful of Cook's workload. We could see a little bit of Mike Boone against the Jaguars on Sunday.
