Who Should I Start? Ameer Abdullah or Corey Clement

Friday, January 3, 6:07 PM

After initially being listed as doubtful, the Las Vegas Raiders have downgraded running back Ameer Abdullah (foot) to out for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers after he missed practice all week. Abdullah injured his foot in the Week 17 loss to the New Orleans Saints in which he had the first 100-yard rushing day of the season. With the 31-year-old getting an early start to the offseason, the Raiders will use Alexander Mattison as their lead back against LA at Allegiant Stadium, with rookie Dylan Laube and Chris Collier also seeing action in a change-of-pace role. Abdullah saw additional opportunities in the second half of this season due to injuries to Mattison and Zamir White, but he'll finish his third season in Sin City with only 311 rushing yards and two TDs on 66 carries over 16 games. He added a career-high 40 catches for 261 yards and three more TDs.

Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Cardinals have decided to bring up the veteran back as a reinforcement with Emari Demercado (toe) ruled out for this game. The expectation is that Keaontay Ingram will get a majority of the snaps in the backfield. Possibly, Clement gets mixed in a little, but it shouldn't be enough to warrant streaming in any fantasy formats.
