• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Paces LV backfield in snaps Sunday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Abdullah rushed four times for 12 yards and he caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals. Abdullah was dealt at least seven touches for the third time in five games as the Raiders trailed throughout the entire second half Sunday. Abdullah's 30 offensive snaps actually paced his position group ahead of fellow running backs Alexander Mattison and Zamir White, each of whom continue to struggle with inefficiency. Through his first nine contests of the 2024 campaign, Abdullah has taken 16 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown to go along with a 14-60-0 receiving line on 17 targets.

• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: No touches in Week 8

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Abdullah didn't carry the ball or draw a target while playing 13 of 79 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams. After filling a change-of-pace role out of the backfield behind Alexander Mattison the previous two weeks, Abdullah saw his playing time take a significant dip Week 7 while Zamir White (groin) made his return from a two-game absence. Expect Abdullah's opportunities on offense to remain limited while both Mattison and White are healthy.

• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Loses key fumble

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Abdullah rushed the ball four times for 24 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers. He added three receptions on five targets for 14 yards. Abdullah had moments of productivity as the change-of-pace back behind Alexander Mattison, but that was overshadowed by a key mistake early in the fourth quarter. With the Raiders one yard away from cutting Pittsburgh's lead to one possession, Abdullah lost a fumble at the hands of T.J. Watt. He didn't record an offensive stat thereafter, and he compounded his problems by muffing a punt just one possession later, though the Raiders recovered that one.

• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Week 6 Waiver Priority List

  10/08/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Abdullah worked in tandem with Alexander Mattison in Week 5 at Denver with Zamir White (groin) out, and Abdullah had five carries for 42 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 9 yards on three targets. We'll see what happens with White heading into Week 6 against Pittsburgh, but Abdullah can be considered a flex option if White is out again, especially in PPR. Abdullah is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

• Raiders' Ameer Abdullah: Finds end zone Sunday

  10/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Abdullah rushed five times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-18 loss to the Broncos. He also caught all three of his targets for nine yards and he returned one kickoff for 23 yards. Abdullah logged a season-high 31 offensive snaps behind Alexander Mattison with fellow running back Zamir White (groin) sidelined for Sunday's tilt, and Abdullah took advantage as he translated the additional playing time into eight touches for 51 yards and a score, finding the end zone on a three-yard rush late in the fourth quarter. Earlier in the contest, Abdullah notched the Raiders' second-longest play of the game when he took a carry 40 yards to begin a drive. The 31-year-old could return to more of a reserve role offensively if White manages to suit up against the Steelers in Week 6.
