Ameer Abdullah Fantasy

The Las Vegas Raiders re-signed running back Ameer Abdullah to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a league source. Abdullah caught 25 passes for 211 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (zero starts) in his first season with the Raiders in 2022. He carried the ball only four times for 20 yards. The Raiders placed the franchise tag on Josh Jacobs, last year's leading NFL rusher, and the team also still has Zamir White and Brandon Bolden. With Jacobs locked in as the unquestioned bell-cow back in Vegas, Abdullah isn't expected to have anything other than a small role in the passing game once again in 2023, severely limiting his fantasy appeal to cavernous PPR leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. He was limited at practice earlier in the week, but it will be all systems go for Thursday Night Football. The 29-year-old has a vital role in passing-down situations, catching 18 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown over 12 games in 2022. Abdullah is a boom-or-bust flex in PPR formats for Week 14 against a Rams defense that is 27th in rush DVOA versus opposing running backs.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah rushed three times for 16 yards and caught all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the 40-34 overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks. Abdullah has just one touchdown and 21 touches on the season, so there's not much to takeaway here except he would have some solid PPR value if Josh Jacobs had to miss any time down the stretch. For now, he remains off the fantasy radar, but it was nice to see the veteran running back find the end zone.
