Abdullah played his first season with the Raider last year and got some work in a reserve role, getting most of his work as a third-down back. He had 231 total yards, but just 20-rushing yards. He caught 25 passes for 211 yards. Abdullah continues to show he can help NFL teams as a third-down back, a role he will try to serve again this year. He has 25 or more receptions four times in his career. Abdullah has good speed and can get to the next level in a hurry. He isn't a big back but isn't afraid to lower his shoulder to try to pick up some extra yards. He will struggle in some short-yardage situations, though, and tries for the big play too often. He has a bad habit of getting negative plays. Abdullah can catch the ball out of the backfield well as evident by the last few seasons.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Abdullah has a little value because he will catch some passes, but don't expect much. The volume just isn't there. He will be a stretch for fantasy teams to draft. He might get 20 receptions and around 200 total yards.

The Raiders re-signed running back Ameer Abdullah, the team announced on Friday. The 2015 No. 54 overall pick has played in 125 regular season games, amassing 1,683 yards and six touchdowns off 428 carries. He's also made eight more trips to the end zone as a pass-catcher. While the Raiders backfield situation remains a work in progress heading toward the 2024-25 campaign, there could be an opportunity for Abdullah to get more involved. However, that's not likely, as he's anticipated to remain buried on the depth chart, although he should get a few touches each game. That said, that won't make him relevant for fantasy managers.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah signed a new contract with the Raiders Friday, March 8. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Las Vegas Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah rushed for 11 yards on two carries against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16. He also caught one pass for one yard during the game.
From TheHuddle
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah had six carries for 32 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday, Dec. 14. He also caught two passes for 13 yards.
From TheHuddle
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah has been the primary passing downs back for the team when Josh Jacobs is not carrying the load. Jacobs sustained a knee injury in the Week 14 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The injury has lingered and caused Jacobs to miss every practice this week. With Jacobs' status in doubt for Thursday night's contest against the Los Angeles Chargers, Abdullah could step into a more significant role. Although fellow running back Zamir White should handle the bulk of the carries, Abdullah has demonstrated his ability as a pass-catching running back. The Raiders trust Abdullah on passing downs and in the two-minute offense, which could lead to sneaky production in PPR leagues. Fantasy managers likely have better options this week, but Abdullah may be able to put up a decent performance this week based on passing game usage.
From RotoBaller
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah has been virtually non-existent for the Raiders for most of the season, but he saw increased usage after Josh Jacobs left the game with a knee injury. Abdullah had one carry for 12 yards and two receptions for seven yards. The Raiders take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. The Chargers defense is more vulnerable through the air than on the ground, which favors Abdullah. Abdullah's role in the offense could expand if Jacobs cannot suit up for that game. Savvy fantasy managers should consider adding Abdullah for his role in the Raiders passing attack.
From RotoBaller
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah and TE Austin Hooper each had just one catch apiece on one target in Week 10 against the New York Jets. Abdullah's catch was good for four yards, and Hooper was good for seven yards.
From TheHuddle
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah has been virtually non-existent for the Raiders for most of the season. Abdullah had several games without a single carry this year but saw increased usage in the blowout win against the New York Giants in Week 9. The backup running back had two carries for eight yards to go along with two catches for 17 yards. The Raiders take on the New York Jets on Sunday night in Week 10. While the increased usage was excellent for Abdullah, he will likely see less volume. The Raiders will likely be in a close contest against the Jets this week. Fantasy managers only need to roster Abdullah in leagues once his usage increases.
From RotoBaller
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah rushed once for seven yards in Week 8 against the Detroit Lions, his former team, while adding a 12-yard catch on his lone target.
