        Ameer Abdullah Out Wednesday

        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.

        Sincere McCormick Done For The Season

        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.

        Sincere McCormick Will Remain The Starter

        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.

        Zamir White To IR

        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.

        Alexander Mattison INACTIVE

        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.

        Alexander Mattison Not Expected To Play Week 14

        Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) is not expected to play vs. the Buccaneers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That'll again leave the backfield to Sincere McCormick and Ameer Abdullah. Abdullah easily led the way in snaps and routes last week, but McCormick out-carried him 12 to 10. We're expecting similar deployment today, with McCormick potentially expanding his lead in carries. He's worth a look as a RB3 or Flex play.

        Alexander Mattison Questionable For Week 14, Zamir White Out

        Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. RB Zamir White (quad) has been ruled out. If Mattison returns for this one, Vegas’ backfield would be tough to project. If he remains out, Sincere McCormick will be in play as a RB3 or Flex.

        Alexander Mattison Limited Wednesday, Zamir White Out

        Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice, while RB Zamir White (quad) remained out. We're tentatively expecting Mattison to return for this weekend's game vs. the Bucs, although it's entirely unclear how work will be divvied between Mattison, Sincere McCormick, and Ameer Abdullah. Try to avoid the backfield in Week 14 fantasy lineups.
