Ameer Abdullah Week 12 Outlook - Broncos at Raiders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sat, Nov 23rd 2024, 3:05am EST

With Alexander Mattison and Zamir White each listed as doubtful, Abdullah should be the team's main back this week. Dylan Laube will likely factor in but likely play a supporting role. Last week, Abdullah played 34% of the snaps and finished with four touches and 17 total yards. Over the last two seasons, across 32 carries and 36 receptions, he hasn't put up impressive stats, with only 2.37 yards after contact per attempt and 0.80 YPRR. Abdullah is a volume-driven and touchdown-dependent flex. Denver has shut down backs since Week 6; they have allowed the seventh-lowest explosive run rate, the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game, and the tenth-lowest rushing success rate.
