Ameer Abdullah Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders running backs Ameer Abdullah and Zamir White are reportedly sharing all the first-team reps at training camp while Josh Jacobs (holdout) remains absent. Jacobs is unhappy with the team's attempt to place the franchise tag on him, so Abdullah and White will see plenty of additional reps as long as he is out. Tashan Reed of the Athletic said White is taking most of the carries and Abdullah is the primary pass-catching back, but ideally, White will be able to separate himself soon and handle a bigger chunk of the touches. It's too early to know if Jacobs will miss any time, but White could be a huge bargain in preseason drafts if he's forced into a starting role and Abdullah could have at least some value in PPR formats.

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.
