Several Raiders backups shined Sunday in the team’s 20-16 win over the Browns at Allegiant Stadium.

Some may earn a larger role as a result, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports

Running back Alexander Mattison could be one of those players. The 26-year-old had 60 rushing yards on five carries in the win, which led coach Antonio Pierce to say Monday that Mattison may become a more featured part of the Raiders’ offense.

“He deserves more reps,” Pierce said. “And he’s gonna get them.”

Mattison helped the Raiders gain a season-high 152 rushing yards Sunday. The team totaled just 153 yards on the ground its first three games.

What a larger workload for Mattison means for starter Zamir White is unclear. White ran for 397 yards in the Raiders’ final four games last season and was expected to be the team’s workhorse this year. But White has 152 rushing yards on 49 attempts through four games, an average of 3.1 yards per carry. He also had a fumble returned for a touchdown Sunday.

Mattison, on the other hand, has 87 yards on 17 rushing attempts for a 5.1 yards per carry average. He credited the Raiders’ offensive line for the team’s success Sunday and said the running backs focused on breaking more tackles.
