• Raiders' Sincere McCormick: Goes on IR

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  The Raiders placed McCormick (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday. The ankle injury that McCormick sustained in Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons will keep the running back sidelined for the final three games of the season. With Zamir White (quadriceps) also on IR, Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullahare poised to lead the team's backfield down the stretch, with Dylan Laube and Chris Collier in reserve. McCormick -- who is under contract with Las Vegas through 2025 -- finishes his 2024 campaign with 39 carries for 183 yards and six catches on seven targets for 29 yards in five contests.

• Raiders' Sincere McCormick: Not expecting to return in 2024

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  McCormick (ankle) said Tuesday in a story posted on his personal Instagram account that he plans to "be back next season." The Raiders haven't provided any updates on the severity of the ankle injury that forced McCormick out early in the second quarter of Monday's 15-9 loss to the Falcons, but the running back seems to think he won't be available for the final three games of the season. The ankle injury comes at a particularly tough time for the 2022 undrafted free agent. McCormick didn't receive his first NFL carries until Week 12 of this season, but he performed well enough for head coach Antonio Pierce to name him the team's starter. Though he averaged a healthy 4.7 yards per carry on 39 totes through five games with the Raiders, McCormick probably won't be guaranteed a meaningful role heading into 2025, as Las Vegas is likely to seek upgrades to its backfield during the offseason.

  McCormick (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup against Atlanta. McCormick was injured on a one-yard carry in the second quarter. He was deemed questionable to return ahead of Las Vegas' next offensive drive, then ruled out after halftime. McCormick logged eight yards on seven carries along with 17 yards on two receptions prior to exiting. The Raiders backfield will consist of Alexander Mattison, Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube for the remainder of the game.

• Raiders' Sincere McCormick: Sleeper RBs

  9D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  McCormick has run well in the past two games for the Raiders against the Chiefs and Buccaneers, and coach Antonio Pierce said McCormick will remain the starter even with Alexander Mattison (ankle) coming back against the Falcons after missing the past three games. In his past two outings, McCormick has 27 carries for 142 yards and four catches for 12 yards on five targets. The Falcons are No. 8 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, but three guys in the past four games have scored at least 15.9 PPR points against Atlanta. I like McCormick has a high-end flex in all leagues.

• Raiders' Sincere McCormick: Secure as top man in backfield

  Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said Wednesday that McCormick will start Monday's game against the Falcons, even if Alexander Mattison (ankle) is cleared to play, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. Pierce said Mattison will "probably" return from his three-game absence this week, but McCormick appears to have earned the lead role after performing well since Week 12. During the past three contests, McCormick has carried 32 times for 175 yards (5.5 YPC) to go with four catches for 12 yards, with his efficiency on the ground far surpassing what Mattison has provided this season when healthy (3.3 YPC on 97 totes over 10 games). With Mattison and Ameer Abdullah primed to fill backup roles out of the backfield and Zamir White (quadricep) on injured reserve, McCormick will look to string together a few more quality appearances to close out the 2024 season with the hope of entering 2025 with a meaningful role.
