Ameer Abdullah Status
rotoWire
The Raiders re-signed Abdullah to a one-year contract Thursday, KPRC 2 Houston's Aaron Wilson reports.
What it means:
Abdullah appeared in all 17 games for the Raiders last season as a lightly-used change-of-pace back and pass-catching specialist behind Josh Jacobs. He averaged just 10.3 offensive snaps per game and rushed four times for 20 yards, adding 25 catches for 211 yards and one touchdown. Abdullah will try and fill the same role again in 2023.
rotoWire
Abdullah ended his 2022 campaign with just four total carries for 20 yards in 17 games, though he added 25 receptions for 211 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets.
What it means:
Abdullah never carved out more than a pass-down role while starter Josh Jacobs retained workhorse status out of the Raiders' backfield all season, but both players now head into unrestricted free agency in 2023. Abdullah also handled a fair share of special teams reps this season, returning 26 kickoffs for 543 yards.
rotoWire
Abdullah did not record an offensive touch in nine snaps during Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers.
What it means:
Abdullah failed to draw a target in the passing game for the first time since Week 5, and it was fellow reserve running back Brandon Bolden that filled in for starter Josh Jacobs on the ground when the latter briefly exited with a minor hip injury. Abdullah figures to remain involved sparingly on passing downs, but barring any setbacks, Jacobs is slated to retain his workhorse role against the Chiefs in Week 18.
rotoWire
Abdullah caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.
What it means:
Abdullah failed to see a single rush in the contest while Josh Jacobs handled 16 total touches. The 29-year-old played just 10 of the Raiders' 53 offensive snaps in the contest as Jacobs continues to operate as a workhorse back. Barring an injury, Abdullah should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 17 matchup with the 49ers.
rotoWire
Abdullah caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots. He also returned five kickoffs for 111 yards.
What it means:
Abdullah's offensive role remained limited to passing situations as workhorse Josh Jacobs handled 24 touches for 110 total yards Sunday. Abdullah has seen four targets over the Raiders' last two games ahead of a Week 16 tilt in Pittsburgh.
rotoWire
Abdullah caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
What it means:
Abdullah played less than 10 offensive snaps for the first time since Week 7, as the Raiders led for much of the contest until the pivotal final moments. Starter Josh Jacobs (finger) once again enjoyed a workhorse role with 29 touches for 114 yards and a touchdown, continuing to dominate the lion's share of opportunities out of the Raiders' backfield. Nonetheless, Abdullah figures to factor in on passing downs against the Patriots in Week 15.
