Abdullah did not record an offensive touch in nine snaps during Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: 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.

Abdullah caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: 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.
Dec 27, 2022 1:34 AM EST
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.
Analysis: 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.
Dec 20, 2022 6:23 AM EST
Abdullah caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: 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 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.
Dec 12, 2022 6:44 AM EST
Abdullah (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Rams, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
Analysis: Josh Jacobs (calf) is listed as questionable, just as he was a few days ago before running for 144 yards against the Chargers. Abdullah will continue seeing most of his playing time in passing situations, with rookie Zamir White more likely to serve as the lead runner if Jacobs ends up missing this one.
Dec 7, 2022 2:21 PM EST
The Raiders listed Abdullah (hamstring) as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Abdullah's limted estimate was his second straight in as many days, as the Raiders prep for a matchup with the Rams on Thursday. His status will be worth monitoring following the release of Wednesday's injury report. The veteran running back recorded one carry for four yards and failed to haul in his only target during Sunday's 27-20 victory over the Chargers.
Dec 6, 2022 4:28 PM EST
Abdullah (hamstring) was limited on Monday's estimated practice report, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Analysis: Abdullah played his typical workload in Sunday's game with the Chargers. With the Raiders playing Thursday against the Rams, any appearance on the injury report early in the week takes on more meaning. However, his limitation was just an estimate and his status in the days ahead will be worth monitoring.
Dec 5, 2022 2:06 PM EST
Abdullah took one carry for four yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Abdullah failed to catch a single pass for the first time since Week 5, logging only 12 offensive snaps behind starter Josh Jacobs. Abdullah's pass-down role could diminish if the Raiders manage to build an early lead against the 3-9 Rams on Thursday.
Dec 5, 2022 9:57 AM EST
Abdullah rushed for 16 yards on three carries and caught all three of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks. He also returned three kickoffs for 73 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah found the end zone for the first time this season in Seattle, where he racked up 55 yards on six touches despite playing only 14 offensive snaps behind a monster performance from Josh Jacobs. The latter figures to remain the workhorse out of the Raiders' backfield Week 13 against the Chargers, but Abdullah has now caught at least three passes in three straight games.
Nov 28, 2022 12:01 PM EST
Abdullah caught three of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos. He also returned three kickoffs for 69 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah has caught at least three passes in three of the Raiders' past four contests, but only one of his receptions went for positive yardage Sunday. Starter Josh Jacobs was Las Vegas' only running back to record a carry, though Abdullah figures to continue providing relief on pass downs when the Raiders visit Seattle in Week 12.
Nov 21, 2022 10:50 AM EST
Abdullah was a full participant in practice Thursday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Abdullah sat out practice due to an illness Wednesday, but he was back on the field Thursday. His ability to practice without limitations suggests that the veteran ball carrier should be good to go for Sunday's clash against Denver. Though he has yet to log a carry this season, Abdullah has seen at least 14 snaps each of the past three weeks and has caught nine passes for 69 yards over that span.
Nov 17, 2022 3:10 PM EST
Abdullah (illness) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Analysis: Abdullah appears to have picked up an illness after catching all four of his targets during Sunday's loss to the Colts. While the nature of this ailment is still unclear, he'll have two full days to overcome this ailment before Las Vegas' final injury report Friday. Abdullah has seen a sharp increase in his playing time on offense over the past four weeks, and he'll look to maintain a pass-catching role out of the backfield this Sunday against the Broncos.
Nov 16, 2022 3:41 PM EST
Abdullah caught all four of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts. He also returned three kickoffs for 86 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah has racked up nine total catches throughout the Raiders' past three games, but workhorse Josh Jacobs caught six passes on eight targets of his own out of the backfield during Sunday's contest. Nonetheless, Abdullah remains well ahead of fellow backup Brandon Bolden for pass-down work behind Jacobs.
Nov 15, 2022 5:04 AM EST
Abdullah caught one of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars. He also returned two kickoffs for 21 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah has beat out fellow backup Brandon Bolden for the pass-down role out of the Raiders' backfield since the team's Week 6 bye, but it hasn't translated to much fantasy relevance for Abdullah behind workhorse Josh Jacobs. Abdullah figures to see a similar level of involvement against the Colts in Week 10.
Nov 7, 2022 7:23 AM EST
Abdullah caught four passes for 28 yards on five targets in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Abdullah has caught a total of six passes over the Raiders' past two contests, but three of his receptions came in the fourth quarter Sunday when the Saints had already built a 24-point lead. Fellow backup Brandon Bolden played just one offensive snap to Abdullah's 20, indicating the latter may have a firmer grasp on the pass-down role again Week 9 against the Jaguars.
Oct 31, 2022 8:39 AM EST
Abdullah caught two passes on as many targets for seven yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans. He also returned one kickoff for 17 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah played more than one offensive snap for the first time since Week 2, but he handled just two touches while starter Josh Jacobs racked up 155 total yards and three scores. Meanwhile, Brandon Bolden only saw the field on special teams. Abdullah's role in the offense figures to remain limited against the Saints in Week 8 with Jacobs at full strength.
Oct 24, 2022 8:53 AM EST
Abdullah caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Abdullah played 14 offensive snaps in the pass-down role behind starter Josh Jacobs with fellow running back Brandon Bolden (hamstring) sidelined for the contest, but Abdullah's only touch came in the second quarter. Jacobs, who handled 19 carries for 69 yards Sunday, should lead the charge out of the Raiders' backfield again Week 3 at Tennessee while Abdullah mixes in sparingly.
Sep 20, 2022 10:05 AM EST
Abdullah failed to reel in his only target in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Abdullah played only seven offensive snaps while fellow running back Brandon Bolden caught two passes for 21 yards and a score behind starter Josh Jacobs. However, Bolden exited Sunday's contest early due to a hamstring injury, so Abdullah could see an uptick in passing-down work Week 2 against the Cardinals if Bolden remains sidelined.
Sep 12, 2022 9:55 AM EST
Abdullah and Brandon Bolden split third-down work in Tuesday's practice, and both could have roles in a likely backfield committee, Tashan Reed and Vic Tafur or The Athletic report.
Analysis: Josh Jacobs seems to be on track for the Week 1 start, but with Abdullah and Bolden candidates to steal passing-down snaps and rookie Zamir White a threat to take short-yardage work. While four-man backfield committees aren't common, the Raiders could do it without much sacrifice elsewhere on the roster, as Bolden and Abdullah both have ample experience playing special teams. It's also still possible coach Josh McDaniel chooses one over the other for a role that mostly figures to entail playing time in hurry-up situations and on third downs.
Aug 24, 2022 9:11 AM EST
Abdullah didn't see any snaps in Sunday's preseason win over the Vikings.
Analysis: The same applies to the Raiders' top back Josh Jacobs, as well as versatile special teams ace Brandon Bolden, which paved the way for Brittain Brown, Austin Walter, Kenyan Drake and Zamir White to handle the carries in the team's second preseason game. Heading into training camp, there wasn't much fantasy buzz about Abdullah, but at this stage the 29-year-old appears to be making a push to overtake Drake as the team's top change-of-pace back. With that in mind, Albert Breer of SI.com noted Friday that Abdullah is "carving out a real role," and if he indeed emerges as a key pass-catching threat out of the Las Vegas backfield, the 2015 second-rounder could resurface on the PPR radar.
