Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. His absence leaves Alexander Mattison as Vegas’ likely lead back, with Dylan Laube and Chris Collier behind him. Mattison is a viable volume-based Week 18 fantasy play.
Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He's coming off a big Week 17 but exited late in that game with the foot injury. Abdullah's absence in Sunday's finale vs. the Chargers would leave Alexander Mattison as Vegas' lead back.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers caught 5 of 9 targets for 61 yards and 1 score in Sunday's win over New Orleans. Meyers has now hit 55+ yards in five of his past six outings.
Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah suffered a foot injury late in Sunday's game vs. the Saints. He operated as the lead back before the injury, carrying 20 times for 115 yards and catching three of four targets for 32 yards. We'll update Abdullah's status when we know more.
Raiders CB Nate Hobbs is inactive for today's game against the Jaguars because of illness.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s just a low-end QB2 in fantasy lineups, but O’Connell’s return is good news for WR Jakobi Meyers and TE Brock Bowers.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Considering QB Desmond Ridder's performance on Monday night (59% completion rate and 5.3 yards per attempt), this is good news for TE Brock Bowers and WR Jakobi Meyers.
The Raiders placed RB Sincere McCormick on IR with the ankle injury he suffered in Monday night's loss to the Falcons. That ends his 2024 season. McCormick flashed with 4.7 yards per carry over the last four weeks, which should earn him an opportunity to win a role in this backfield this offseason. He's a low-end dynasty stash. McCormick's absence leaves Vegas' backfield to Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah the rest of the way. Mattison is a volume-based RB3 option.
Raiders RB Sincere McCormick left Monday’s game vs. Atlanta with a left ankle injury. McCormick might have suffered a high-ankle sprain in the second quarter, but we should know more over the next 24 hours.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) is inactive as the emergency third QB for tonight's game vs. the Falcons. QB Desmond Ridder makes his first start of the season against the team that selected him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Falcons. He didn't practice all week, though, so it'd be a surprise if he played. Look for QB Desmond Ridder to make his first start of the season on Monday -- against his former team. Despite the "revenge factor," Ridder sits 27th in the Week 15 QB Rankings.
Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for Monday night's game vs. the Falcons. He'll play for the first time since Week 11 but has lost the starting job to RB Sincere McCormick. Mattison should not be in Week 15 fantasy lineups.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Raiders Edge Maxx Crosby needs arthroscopic surgery on the ankle injury that has already knocked him out for Week 15. Crosby's expected to miss the rest of the season.
The Raiders have ruled Edge Maxx Crosby out for Monday night's game against the Falcons because of an ankle injury. That likely means more playing time for Edge K'Lavon Chaisson, but no other Raider can come close to replacing Crosby's impact. His absence makes Vegas far less attractive as a sneaky DST play. We'll see about Crosby's status for Week 16.
Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said Wednesday that RB Sincere McCormick will remain the team's lead back even when RB Alexander Mattison returns from his quad injury. "He’s deserved it," Pierce said of McCormick. "Last week, he was running his tail off, so keep running it, keep pushing those numbers up, see if we can get him to 100 [yards]." McCormick has given the Raiders their most productive running of the season over the last three weeks, totaling 175 rushing yards on 5.5 yards per carry. His upside is limited with a minimal pass-catching role on a bad offense. But McCormick could be a serviceable RB3 over the next three weeks vs. Atlanta, Jacksonville, and New Orleans.
The Raiders placed RB Zamir White (quad) on IR. That ends his 2024 season with 183 rushing yards on 2.8 yards per carry across eight games. White should have been dumped from redraft rosters weeks ago and is not a must-hold in dynasty. We'll see if RB Alexander Mattison is ready to return from his ankle injury this week, but we're expecting the Raiders to stick with Sincere McCormick as their lead back regardless.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a relatively minor injury, and O'Connell hasn't even been ruled out for next Monday night's game vs. the Falcons, per Rapoport. We'll track his status throughout this week. QB Desmond Ridder will start against Atlanta if O'Connell can't. It's a situation to steer clear of, even in superflex leagues. TE Brock Bowers and WR Jakobi Meyers' outlooks won't change much based on the QB.
Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell was carted off in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bucs with his left leg in an air cast. He's been replaced by QB Desmond Ridder. We'll update O'Connell's status when we know more, but this looks like a season-ender.
Raiders WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. Meyers did not practice on Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday. We’re expecting him to play his usual role today, making him a strong WR2 option.
Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. With RB Zamir White (quad) also out, Vegas is again down to RBs Sincere McCormick and Ameer Abdullah. We’re projecting McCormick to lead in carries but Abdullah to continue handling most passing-down work. That leaves both guys in RB3 territory in the Week 14 Rankings.
