Latest Injury News

Fantasy Impact: Crosby will continue his recovery from surgery on his left ankle. He underwent season-ending surgery back in December. He appears to be on track to be fully healthy entering training camp.


Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah (foot) is officially inactive for Week 18.

Fantasy Impact: Abdullah was listed as doubtful after picking up a foot injury in Week 17. Alexander Mattison and Chris Collier should see the bulk of the snaps against the Chargers.


Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was limited at practice again on Thursday. (Source: Las Vegas Raiders)

Fantasy Impact: An ankle injury left Meyers limited at practice again on Thursday. It doesn't seem to be a serious issue, however, and the expectation seems to be that he will play through it. Fantasy managers should keep tabs on news out of Las Vegas to make sure Meyers is playing this week and to make sure that Aidan O'Connell (knee) will start for them in Week 16.


Desmond Ridder (hip) was a full participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Kevin Bolinger on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ridder is a a recent addition to Las Vegas' injury report, being listed with a hip injury of some kind. It's not a serious issue, however, as it didn't prevent him from logging a full practice on Wednesday. It looks like Aidan O'Connell (knee) will reclaim the starting job this week, which will push Ridder back to the bench.

Fantasy Impact: O'Connell was sidelined in Week 15 due to a knee injury, but he was able to return to practice as a full participant on Wednesday. He should be good to go for Week 16 and will presumably reclaim the starting job from Desmond Ridder, which is good news for Las Vegas' offense as a whole.


Alexander Mattison (neck) fully practiced for the Raiders on Wednesday. (Source: Kevin Bolinger on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Mattison suffered a neck injury in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, but it's not a serious issue and he was able to log a full practice on Wednesday. He should be good to go and will be in line for a lot of work this week with Sincere McCormick (ankle) out for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Impact: McCormick suffered an ankle injury in Monday's game against the Falcons. Alexander Mattison and Ameer Abdullah will lead the Raiders backfield for the rest of the season.


Zamir White (quad) has been placed on injured reserve. (Source: Ian Rapoport)

Fantasy Impact: With White sidelined for an extended period, the Raiders backfield situation becomes even more intriguing. While Zamir White wasn't a fantasy star, his absence opens the door for others to step up. Sincere McCormick is expected to see a significant increase in touches, even if Alexander Mattison returns from his injury. McCormick becomes an interesting waiver wire target in most formats.


Raiders QB Gardner Minshew II will miss the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone.

Fantasy Impact: Minshew suffered the injury in the loss to Denver Sunday. Prior to the injury, he completed 25-of-42 passes for 230 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. The Raiders will likely wait to announce who will start Friday until later in the week.


Cody Whitehair (ankle) is inactive for Week 12 for the Las Vegas Raiders against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Las Vegas Raiders on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Whitehair will be sidelined once again, leaving the Las Vegas offensive line shorthanded against a stout Denver defense Sunday.


Raiders CB Nate Hobbs (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Week 12. (Source: Tashan Reed on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Hobbs will miss another game due to an ankle injury. With CB Jakorian Bennett ruled out and Jack Jones questionable, the Raiders' defense could be thin at corner in Week 12.


Andre James was limited at practice on Thursday. (Source: Raiders.com)

Fantasy Impact: It is a step in the right direction for James after he was sidelined last week and on Wednesday. He could be good to return if he can practice again on Friday.


Harrison Bryant was limited at practice on Thursday. (Source: Raiders.com)

Fantasy Impact: It is a step in the right direction for Bryant after he was sidelined last week and missed practice on Wednesday. He remains off the fantasy radar if he is healthy.

Fantasy Impact: Mayer is expected to make his return after practicing all week. He will be off the fantasy radar playing behind Brock Bowers.


Thayer Munford Jr. has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders. (Source: Raiders.com)

Fantasy Impact: Munford was limited in practice all week. He is seemingly on the more favorable side of questionable to play on Sunday.


Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to miss Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Steelers. He missed Weeks 4 and 5 with the same injury. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on X)

Fantasy Impact: While he may have tweaked his hamstring, there is speculation that Adams is sitting out due to his trade request and unhappiness in Vegas. Without the top pass-catcher, the Vegas quarterback, whether it be Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell, will look more toward Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. Bowers will remain an elite tight end option, while Meyers will likely fall in the WR3 range.


Christian Wilkins underwent surgery to repair a Jones Fracture and is out indefinitely. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Wilkins will be placed on injured reserve by the Raiders. He'll miss at least the next four games after he was injured in Week 5.


Tyreik McAllister (shoulder) was a non-participant at practice on Wednesday. (Source: Paul Gutierrez on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: McAllister has not been much of a factor for the Raiders so far this year, but he may have an opportunity for a bigger role with Davante Adams (hamstring) expected to miss Week 5 and possibly get traded in the coming days or weeks. However, the 26-year old is dealing with a shoulder injury right now, so he may not be the guy to step up and see more work for the Raiders this week.


Decamerion Richardson has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie Richardson has yet to make his NFL debut due to this lingering hamstring injury. Since the second-string rookie remains out, fellow right cornerback Sam Webb will be the backup behind starter Jakorian Bennett.


Divine Deablo has been ruled out for Week 4's matchup against the Browns due to an oblique injury and a concussion. (Source: Paul Gutierrez on X)

Fantasy Impact: Deablo had six total tackles in Week 3's loss to the Panthers, and his absence will leave an opening at the Will linebacker position against the Browns. Backup Amari Burney will likely see the start in this battle between 1-2 teams.
