Ameer Abdullah Set For First Big Opportunity Of 2024

5 months ago

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah will lead his team's backfield in Week 12 against the Denver Broncos. RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) are both designated as "Doubtful" on the Raiders' injury report, meaning they're highly unlikely to play. Abdullah had just one carry for one yard last week, but did catch three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown. It's a nightmare matchup against a great defense, though. It's hard to trust in the third-string running back on a team that's averaging 3.5 yards per carry as a whole. That's the worst mark in the league by a significant margin. He's a desperation RB3/FLEX play in deep PPR leagues, with the hope that he'll garner significant targets.
