Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten carried 16 times for 104 yards and a TD in Sunday's lopsided win over the Colts. He added another TD among 2 catches for 55 yards. It was his second straight 2-TD game and the second straight outing in which Tuten scored via reception.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten led the team in touches rushing 13 times for 65 yards and a TD. He also caught both of his targets for -3 yards. Chris Rodriguez handled short yardage duties, but only ran the ball 6 times for 13 yards. Ameer Abdullah also had 3 rushes for 11 yards, and a catch for 2 yards. Tuten once again looked like the best RB on the team with his explosiveness off the snap and ability to break a long play (he had a 16-yard outside scamper).

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor ran for 94 yards and 3 TDs on 16 carries in Sunday's win over the Chargers. That marked his third 3-TD game of the season, among seven outings. He added 3 catches for 38 yards on three targets.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor delivered his second 3-TD game of the season in Sunday's beatdown of the Raiders. Taylor tallied a 17-66-3 rushing line to go with 3 receptions for 20 yards. DJ Giddens followed with 22 yards on five carries. Ameer Abdullah also made his Colts debut, running for 6 yards and a TD on two carries.

49ers rookie RB Jordan James is dealing with a knee issue and has missed most of the practice week. HC Kyle Shanahan said James will be re-evaluated as the week progresses, so a return as early as next week is possible. James had made some early noise in camp while Christian McCaffrey rested, and with little depth behind him after the team cut RB Israel Abanikanda.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game vs. the Chiefs after a limited week of practice. RB Zamir White (quad) has been ruled out. Mattison would be the favorite for carries if he ends up active, but he wouldn't be a great fantasy play against Kansas City's top-ranked RB defense. We'll get Vegas' inactives around 2 pm ET tomorrow.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's injury report. It was just a walkthrough for Vegas but means that Mattison has a chance to return for Friday's game vs. the Chiefs. RB Zamir White (quad) remained out on Tuesday. We'll keep you posted on this backfield over the next few days, but it's a situation to try to avoid with the Raiders 12-point underdogs 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.

Raiders RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) remained sidelined on Thursday. It's looking like we'll see a Vegas backfield of Ameer Abdullah, Dylan Laube, and likely practice squad call-up Sincere McCormick against the Broncos on Sunday. We'll look for reports on how work will be divvied, but it's a situation to try to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Raiders RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. Both guys were knocked out of the Week 11 loss to the Dolphins and are seemingly in danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. Their absences would leave the backfield to Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube. The former hasn't tallied double-digit carries in a game since 2017; the latter is a sixth-round rookie who fumbled on his only touch of the season. We'll keep you updated on Mattison and White, but this is a backfield to avoid in Week 12 fantasy lineups.
