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 Alexander Mattison (ankle) is inactive for today's game vs. the Chiefs. With RB Zamir White (quad) also out, Vegas is again down to RBs Ameer Abdullah, Sincere McCormick, and Dylan Laube. Abdullah dominated playing time last week with an 89% snap rate, tallying eight carries and six targets. But Raiders HC Antonio Pierce has talked up a bigger role for McCormick this week. This is ultimately a backfield to try to avoid against Kansas City's top-ranked RB defense.

Raiders RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) are inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. That leaves the backfield to Ameer Abdullah, Dylan Laube, and Sincere McCormick. HC Antonio Pierce said Friday that Abdullah will start, but it’s entirely unclear how touches will be divvied beyond that. Abdullah sits highest among Raiders RBs in the Week 12 Rankings, but you should try to avoid the situation in fantasy lineups.

Raiders RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) are listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. Vegas will roll with Ameer Abdullah, Dylan Laube, and likely practice-squad callup Sincere McCormick in the backfield. We’re projecting Abdullah to lead in touches, but it’s a guess more than anything else. With the Raiders six-point underdogs with a 17.5-point implied total against a tough Denver defense, you should try to stay away from this backfield.
