Three touches to conclude season
Abdullah rushed once for one yard and caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 38-30 loss to the Texans. He finished the season with 14 rushes for 60 yards and one touchdown, adding 16 receptions for 99 yards on 17 targets in 13 appearances.
Analysis: Abdullah finished the 2025 campaign having very little impact offensively, a theme for the veteran running back for most of the season. The 32-year-old operated as one of the Colts' top backup options out of the backfield, but he was unable to get much going each week with starter Jonathan Taylor handling a large majority of the work at running back. Abdullah will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but his age and lack of impressive production may make it difficult to garner…read more

One touch in loss
Abdullah caught his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: The 32-year-old from Nebraska has now gone without a carry in each of the Colts' last two games. Through 12 appearances this season, Abdullah has rushed 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown while catching 14 of 15 targets for 75 yards. Additionally, he's logged 510 kick-return yards while operating as one of Indianapolis' top return men. Expect Abdullah to remain one of the team's primary kick returners in the Week 18 matchup against the Texans.

Records one catch against 49ers
Abdullah caught his lone target for four yards in Monday's 48-27 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Abdullah failed to record a single rushing attempt in the contest while playing just four of the Colts' 60 offensive snaps. With Jonathan Taylor handling the vast majority of snaps at running back, Abdullah and teammate Tyler Goodson are left to handle the few remaining opportunities in the Colts' backfield. The veteran cannot be trusted for fantasy purposes in a Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars.

Leads team in receiving Sunday
Abdullah rushed four times for 15 yards and caught all five of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Abdullah benefited from having Philip Rivers take over under center for the injured Daniel Jones (Achilles) after the backup running back finished as the Colts' leading receiver Sunday. The 32-year-old Abdullah hadn't recorded more than two receptions in any of his previous nine appearances this season, but the higher target share could become a trend with Rivers needing to make plenty of check-down passes to preserve his own health down the stretch. Abdullah represents a sneaky play in Week 16…read more

Three touches in blowout loss
Abdullah had one carry for four yards and two receptions for five yards on two targets in Sunday's 39-16 loss at Jacksonville.
Analysis: Abdullah played a season-high 17 snaps on offense as he got playing time late amid a blowout loss. Abdullah looks clearly ahead of Tyler Goodson and DJ Giddens in the backup running back role, though that order may change if starter Jonathan Taylor were to get hurt.

Plans just four snaps on offense
Abdullah did not have a carry and failed to bring in a catch on his only target in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.
Analysis: Abdullah played just four snaps on offense as Indy used Jonathan Taylor on 46 of the offense's 51 snaps despite giving him just 16 rushing attempts. Abdullah looks to be ahead of Tyler Goodson and DJ Giddens in the backup role, though that order may change if Taylor is injured.

One grab in win
Abdullah caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Abdullah failed to record a single carry Sunday, as the veteran running back played just five of the Colts' 77 offensive snaps against the Falcons. The 32-year-old was was not needed much in the game, as starter Jonathan Taylor ran all over the Falcons on his way to 244 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. With Taylor dominating the backfield for the Colts, Abdullah should not be trusted for fantasy purposes. He'll continue to operate as a depth option when Indianapolis comes out of their…read more

Minimal role in loss
Abdullah had one carry for three yards and one reception for two yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Abdullah played five snaps on offense while Tyler Goodson played a season-high 10 snaps with the Colts trailing most of the game (as Goodson is usually seen as the better receiver). However, the Colts didn't turn to a pass-catching running back as they have in the past -- Jonathan Taylor stayed in the game and played on 62 of the offense's 79 snaps. As long as Taylor is healthy, it looks the other running backs will have very minor roles even if the Colts are forced throw the ball.

Three touches in blowout win
Abdullah had two carries for five yards and one reception for three yards on his lone target in Sunday's 38-14 win over Tennessee.
Analysis: Tyler Goodson returned after missing three games due to a groin injury but Abdullah saw slightly more work, playing 10 snaps compared to four for Goodson, while DJ Giddens was a healthy inactive. Both active backups had only two carries, however, and none of the Colts' backfield depth options will get enough touches for viable fantasy value as long as Jonathan Taylor dominates the workload even in blowouts, as Sunday's win was essentially wrapped up before the fourth quarter.

Three touches against Chargers
Abdullah rushed twice for 19 yards and caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Abdullah played just five of the Colts' 60 offensive snaps Sunday behind starter Jonathan Taylor (52) and ahead of rookie DJ Giddens (3). The veteran running back offers little fantasy value outside of an injury to Taylor, yet it's unclear if Abdullah's role would drastically increase as a 32-year-old in one of the league's most explosive offenses. With that said, Abdullah remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Titans.

Joins active roster
The Colts signed Adbullah from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Tyler Goodson (groin) has been ruled out, leaving the Colts in need of running back depth behind Jonathan Taylor and DJ Giddens. Abdullah was active in Weeks 5 and 6, logging a total of three carries for 13 yards and a touchdown, and he'll now have a permanent spot on the roster.

Lands back on practice squad
Adbullah reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Adullah was elevated for the second straight week for this past Sunday's win over Arizona and logged three snaps on offense, rushing once for seven yards and catching his lone target for nine yards. He also played 10 snaps on special teams. Though Abdullah is back on the Colts' practice squad for now, he could be elevated again in Week 7 versus the Chargers if Tyler Goodson (groin) remains sidelined.

Elevated from practice squad
The Colts elevated Abdullah from the practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Cardinals.
Analysis: Abdullah will serve as the team's No. 3 running back for the second straight week as Tyler Goodson remains sidelined due to a groin injury. Abdullah carried the ball two times for six yards and a touchdown in the Week 5 win over the Raiders while playing on both offense and special teams. The team will be able to elevate the 32-year-old just one more time following Sunday's matchup.

Back to practice squad
Abdullah reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Abdullah churned out six yards and a touchdown on two carries in Sunday's 40-6 victory over the Raiders, playing five snaps on offense in the contest. Additionally, the running back logged 10 snaps on special teams, recording a tackle in kick coverage. With Tyler Goodson (groin) still banged up, it's possible that Abdullah will be elevated to the active roster again ahead of the Colts' Week 6 matchup with the Cardinals.

Rushing TD late in blowout win
Abdullah had two carries for six yards, including a two-yard rushing touchdown, in Sunday's 40-6 win over Las Vegas.
Analysis: Abdullah was just called up from the practice squad ahead of the game. He only got carries late in the game amid a blowout win. DJ Giddens remains the clear backup to Jonathan Taylor while Tyler Goodson (groin) is sidelined. Abdullah will likely see most of his usage on special teams whenever he's active.

Up from practice squad for Week 5
The Colts have elevated Abdullah from their practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: With fellow RB Tyler Goodson (groin) having been ruled out for the contest, Abdullah will provide depth and experience Sunday to an Indianapolis backfield that's led by Jonathan Taylor and also includes DJ Giddens. As long as Taylor remains healthy, however, there won't be much volume for his backups.

Gets opportunity with Indy
The Colts signed Abdullah to the practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Abdullah reached an injury settlement with the 49ers in mid-August after reverting to the team's IR due to a rib injury. He appears to have fully recovered from the injury and will head to Indianapolis, where he'll be available for an elevation to the active roster should the Colts require backfield depth on game day.

Lands on IR with rib injury
The 49ers placed Abdullah (ribs) on injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Abdullah joined the 49ers in late July due to multiple injuries to the team's backfield, but the 2015 second-rounder suffered a rib injury of his own during San Francisco's 30-9 preseason loss to Denver on Saturday. By being placed on IR, Abdullah will be forced to miss the entire 2025 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the 49ers. Jeff Wilson was signed by the 49ers to a one-year contract in a corresponding move.

Doesn't return Saturday
Abdullah was forced out of Saturday's 30-9 preseason loss to the Broncos due to a rib injury.
Analysis: Abdullah was initially listed as questionable to return but never retook the field, though given that Saturday's affair was only a preseason clash, the 49ers may have simply taken a cautious approach. The 32-year-old veteran inked with San Francisco in late July, and his next opportunity to take the field this preseason will come Saturday, Aug. 16 versus the Raiders.

Signs with San Francisco
The 49ers signed Abdullah to a one-year contract Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Abdullah had a tryout with the Niners on Wednesday and things evidently went well for the veteran running back. He turned 32 years old last month and appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Raiders last season, logging a 66-311-2 rushing line in addition to a 40-261-3 receiving tally on 47 targets. Abdullah will look to win a job behind Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo and rookie Jordan James this summer.

Doubtful for Week 18
Coach Antonio Pierce said Friday that Abdullah (foot) will be listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In the wake of a standout 20-carry, 115-yard effort this past Sunday at New Orleans that also included three catches (on four targets) for 32 yards, Abdullah has been tending to a foot injury that didn't allow him to practice this week. He thus appears in line to miss his first game of the campaign, which would allow the combination of Alexander Mattison, Chris Collier and perhaps even Dylan Laube to man the Raiders backfield Sunday.

Misses practice again
Abdullah (foot) remained sidelined at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Abdullah is coming off a career-high 115-yard rushing effort in Week 17, but back-to-back missed practices cloud his status for Sunday's season finale against the Chargers. If Abdullah is limited or out this weekend, Alexander Mattison and Chris Collier likely would be next up for the Raiders' Week 18 carries, with Dylan Laube a candidate to mix in.

However, the running back suffered a foot injury late in the contest, and his absence from practice to kick off Week 18 prep means that his status will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Abdullah emerged from Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints with a foot injury, Luke Straub of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Abdullah handled a season-high 23 touches and accounted for 147 yards, but he didn't take a handoff or draw a target after the first play of the fourth quarter. Though the Raiders listed Abdullah as questionable to return due to the foot injury at one point later in the quarter, he ultimately never checked back in while Chris Collier served as the primary back on Las Vegas' last drive.

Tops 100 rushing yards Sunday
Abdullah carried the ball 20 times for 115 yards and caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints,
Analysis: It's the first time in his career that the 31-year-old running back has produced triple-digit rushing yards in a game. Abdullah saw 23 touches to Alexander Mattison's 11, but it's not clear if coach Antonio Pierce was simply riding the hot hand, or if Abdullah has moved to the top of the depth chart for the Raiders. Whoever sees the bulk of the backfield work in Week 18 will face a much stingier Chargers defense.

Abdullah rushed the ball seven times for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-14 win over the Jaguars. He added five receptions on six targets for 47 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah benefitted from the absence of Sincere McCormick (ankle) but still saw four fewer touches than Alexander Mattison. As would be expected, the majority of Abdullah's production came as a receiver, and he finished second on the team in both receptions and yards.

Abdullah took three carries for eight yards while hauling in all seven of his targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 15-9 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: Starter Sincere McCormick (ankle) was injured in the second quarter before being ruled out at halftime, opening extra playing time for the Raiders' backup RBs. Abdullah took full advantage of the opportunity and cashed in a late touchdown reception while Alexander Mattison (7-24-0) handled the early-down work in the second half.

Two touches in Sunday's loss
Abdullah caught one of two targets for a loss of three yards and rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Buccaneers. He also returned two punts for 30 yards and two kickoffs for 59 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah earned just two touches despite playing 39 percent of the Raiders' offensive snaps, ceding much of the backfield work to Sincere McCormick as the undrafted 24-year-old took 15 carries for 78 yards to go along with a pair of receptions for another 11 yards. Abdullah figures to take a backseat to McCormick again in Week 15 when Las Vegas hosts the Falcons on Monday Night Football. Additionally, Alexander Mattison (ankle) could return to the backfield rotation as well.

Abdullah rushed 10 times for 39 yards, secured both targets for 14 yards, returned one kickoff for 68 yards and ran back two punts for 30 yards in the Raiders' 19-17 loss to the Chiefs on Friday.
Analysis: The veteran back was busy all afternoon with both Zamir White (quadriceps) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) inactive, and he supplemented his work on offense with a productive effort on special teams. Abdullah's 68-yard kickoff return late in the third quarter set the Raiders up on the Chiefs' 26-yard line for a drive that culminated in a Brock Bowers touchdown grab two plays later.

Analysis: In the absence of both Mattison and White, Abdullah is in line to start Sunday, per Tashan Reed of The Athletic, with Dylan Laube and practice-squad elevation Sincere McCormick also available to mix in. While Abdullah is a speculative lineup option versus Denver, he could provide short-term fantasy utility for those who would normally rely on either Mattison or White or are otherwise in need of backfield help with six teams on bye in Week 12.

Abdullah is in line to lead the Vegas backfield Sunday against the Broncos, as Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports that both Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) will be listed as doubtful.
Analysis: Nearly all of Abdullah's playing time this season has come on third downs or in hurry-up/comeback situations, but Reed reports that the 31-year-old is expected to start this Sunday. Abdullah scored a receiving touchdown after both Mattison and White got hurt in the Week 11 loss to Miami, taking 88 percent of snaps in the fourth quarter.

Paces LV backfield in snaps Sunday
Abdullah rushed four times for 12 yards and he caught all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: Abdullah was dealt at least seven touches for the third time in five games as the Raiders trailed throughout the entire second half Sunday. Abdullah's 30 offensive snaps actually paced his position group ahead of fellow running backs Alexander Mattison and Zamir White, each of whom continue to struggle with inefficiency. Through his first nine contests of the 2024 campaign, Abdullah has taken 16 carries for 81 yards and a touchdown to go along with a 14-60-0 receiving line on 17 targets.

Abdullah rushed the ball four times for 24 yards in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers. He added three receptions on five targets for 14 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah had moments of productivity as the change-of-pace back behind Alexander Mattison, but that was overshadowed by a key mistake early in the fourth quarter. With the Raiders one yard away from cutting Pittsburgh's lead to one possession, Abdullah lost a fumble at the hands of T.J. Watt. He didn't record an offensive stat thereafter, and he compounded his problems by muffing a punt just one possession later, though the Raiders recovered that one.

Abdullah (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Cleveland.
Analysis: The 30-year-old has played 30 offensive snaps and another 48 on special teams through three weeks. The Raiders have been using all three of Zamir White, Alexander Mattison and Abdullah out of the backfield in a true three-man committee approach. If Abdullah can't play, it could open more pass-game work for Mattison, as White has mainly been limited to early downs.

Special teams role in season opener
Abdullah played 14 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Chargers, returning one kickoff for 28 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah was not involved in the Raiders' offensive game plan during the season opener, while fellow running backs Zamir White and Alexander Mattison combined for 108 total yards and a receiving score on 24 touches. Mattison alone was targeted six times by quarterback Gardner Minshew, and Abdullah figures to cede passing down work to Mattison again Week 2 versus the Ravens.

Competing for third-down role
Abdullah is competing with rookie sixth-round pick Dylan Laube for a third-down role behind starting running back Zamir White, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Abdullah has handled a key special-teams role across two seasons with the Raiders, which he figures to reprise in 2024, but he could also contribute more on offense if he's able to secure regular pass-catching snaps. White and backup Alexander Mattison figure to dominate carries for Las Vegas, but one of Abdullah or Laube could emerge as a somewhat reliable target this season. Last year, Abdullah secured 19 of 24 targets for 131 yards in 17 regular-season games.

Analysis: Abdullah recorded more than four touches in a single contest just once throughout his second season with the Raiders, while 2022 fourth-round pick Zamir White took control of the backfield when workhorse Josh Jacobs missed Weeks 15-18 with a quadriceps injury. Abdullah will turn 31 years old in June, and the veteran's future in Las Vegas is uncertain as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Just two touches Sunday
Abdullah rushed once for four yards and caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Abdullah logged a season-high 30 offensive snaps with Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) sidelined for a third straight contest, but fill-in starter Zamir White earned 25 touches out of the backfield Sunday, notching 106 total yards in the process. The team figures to continue leaning on White in Week 18 against the Broncos if Jacobs remains out, capping Abdullah's projection.

Two carries against Chiefs
Abdullah rushed twice for 11 yards and caught his only target for one yard in Monday's 20-14 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Abdullah maintained a limited role out of the Raiders' backfield against the Chiefs in Week 16, despite Josh Jacobs' (quadriceps/illness) absence from the Christmas Day contest. Fellow running back Zamir White handled the bulk of the rushing work, taking 22 carries for 145 yards while Abdullah earned only three touches across 12 offensive snaps. Abdullah could see even fewer opportunities Week 17 versus the Colts if Jacobs returns to action.

Eight touches in massive win
Abdullah rushed six times for 32 yards and caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: Abdullah tripled his previous season high in carries with six rushes while Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) was sidelined Thursday, but Zamir White logged 45 offensive snaps compared to Abdullah's 17. Nonetheless, Abdullah figures to continue providing relief on passing downs even if Jacobs is able to return Week 16 against the Chiefs.

Analysis: Abdullah's first two touches didn't come until less than a minute remaining in the first half, though he's now up to 14 receptions through the first 13 games of the season. Starting running back Josh Jacobs exited Sunday's contest in the fourth quarter due to a seemingly minor knee injury, but Abdullah could see his snap share increase Thursday against the Chargers if Jacobs is limited or unable to play on a quick turnaround.

Two touches against Kansas City
Abdullah rushed once for 11 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Abdullah's 11-yard carry came on the final play of the first half, but he was held without a single touch throughout the second half while starter Josh Jacobs handled a bulk of the work out of the Raiders' backfield.

Makes one grab in loss
Abdullah caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Abdullah's 23 percent offensive snap share marked a season high as the Raiders trailed throughout the entirety of the second half in Miami, but the 30-year-old running back was dealt just one touch behind starter Josh Jacobs. Abdullah could see a similar level of involvement, especially on passing downs, against the Chiefs in Week 12.

Analysis: Abdullah played just eight offensive snaps in the blowout victory, but he managed to earn more than two touches in a single contest for the first time this season.

Minimal involvement in loss
Abdullah rushed once for seven yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: After failing to earn a single touch over the past two contests, Abdullah handled two touches during Monday's contest. Through eight weeks of season, the veteran running back has seen no more than two touches in a contest and has been held without a touch in three games.

Two touches on MNF
Abdullah rushed once for four yards and caught his only target for 11 yards in Monday's 17-13 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Abdullah continues to play ahead of fellow reserve Zamir White, but the former has yet to earn more than two touches in a game through the first five weeks of the season. Nonetheless, Abdullah remains capable of providing relief to starter Josh Jacobs in certain down and distance situations ahead of a Week 6 tilt against the Patriots.

Pair of receptions in loss
Abdullah caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers.
Analysis: Abdullah's two receptions didn't come until the fourth quarter when the Raiders were trailing by multiple scores, and starter Josh Jacobs remained busy as a receiver in his own right with eight catches for 81 yards on 11 targets. It's safe to expect a similarly limited role for Abdullah against the Packers in Week 5.

Abdullah caught two passes for 16 yards on three targets in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Abdullah played just 12 of a possible 72 offensive snaps despite the Raiders finding themselves in catch-up mode for the entirety of the second half, while workhorse Josh Jacobs ultimately handled 17 carries to go along with three receptions on five targets out of the team's backfield. Abdullah has earned three targets in back-to-back contests, but Jacobs' significant usage figures to continue against the Chargers in Week 4.

Analysis: Abdullah logged only six offensive snaps despite a trailing game script, while starter Josh Jacobs played a much larger role in the passing game as he earned six targets to ultimately produce five receptions for 51 yards.

Returns to Vegas on one-year deal
The Raiders re-signed Abdullah to a one-year contract Thursday, KPRC 2 Houston's Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Abdullah appeared in all 17 games for the Raiders last season as a lightly-used change-of-pace back and pass-catching specialist behind Josh Jacobs. He averaged just 10.3 offensive snaps per game and rushed four times for 20 yards, adding 25 catches for 211 yards and one touchdown. Abdullah will try and fill the same role again in 2023.

Abdullah ended his 2022 campaign with just four total carries for 20 yards in 17 games, though he added 25 receptions for 211 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets.
Analysis: Abdullah never carved out more than a pass-down role while starter Josh Jacobs retained workhorse status out of the Raiders' backfield all season, but both players now head into unrestricted free agency in 2023. Abdullah also handled a fair share of special-teams reps this season, returning 26 kickoffs for 543 yards.

Single-digit offensive snap count
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 (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/quadriceps) is listed as questionable, just as he was a few days ago before running for 144 yards in a Week 13 win over 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 Thursday's game.

Logs limited estimate
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. 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, but with Josh Jacobs playing through some nagging injuries, the rest of Las Vegas' backfield options -- including Abdullah -- could see additional work if at any point Jacobs needs some extra rest.

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.

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.

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.

Abdullah rushed twice for seven yards and a touchdown, secured both targets for 23 yards and returned one punt for 13 yards during the Raiders' 27-11 preseason win over the Jaguars in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.
Analysis: Abdullah was the third running back into the game behind Josh Jacobs and rookie Zamir White, making his presence felt on an eight-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The versatile veteran also looked good on the receiving front and in his one return opportunity, and his ability to contribute on special teams could ultimately prove to be the tiebreaker if it comes down to him and Kenyan Drake for a roster spot.

Unsurprisingly, that involvement also resulted in Abdullah's best yardage output, ranking second on Carolina in both rushing and receiving yards Sunday, with his nine grabs comfortably setting a new career high.

Abdullah rushed twice for one yard and caught three of six targets for eight yards in Sunday's 32-6 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Abdullah played a third of Carolina's offensive snaps but couldn't get anything going against a stringy Tampa Bay defense. In fact, the tailback's biggest impact came on special teams, where he returned three kickoffs for 76 yards.

Good receiving production
Abdullah ran for seven yards on four carries and caught four passes for 48 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Buffalo on Sunday.
Analysis: While rookie Chuba Hubbard again functioned as Carolina's rushing specialist at running back by taking eight carries for 40 yards, Abdullah was clearly the preferred receiving option out of the backfield Sunday. That workload split might be how the Panthers ride out the rest of their wretched 2021 season, and against Tampa Bay in Week 16, the matchup only figures to get tougher for the Carolina ground attack.

Abdullah rushed four times for 16 yards and caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Abdullah, due to his superior pass-catching skills, actually played 13 more offensive snaps than fellow tailback Chuba Hubbard. Both players managed just 33 scrimmage yards, but Hubbard scored a touchdown to boost his performance and tied for the team lead with 10 carries. With a tough matchup in Week 15 at the Bills, the game flow could again favor Abdullah, but Buffalo's defense could make it difficult to muster much yardage.

Involved without McCaffrey
Abdullah rushed twice for four yards and caught two of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 33-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Abdullah led Carolina's backfield with 27 snaps after starter Christian McCaffrey suffered an ankle injury and featured on just one second-half play. Although the Panthers are now entering their bye week, giving McCaffrey some time to heal, Abdullah and Chuba Hubbard would figure to assume much of McCaffrey's workload should he be limited ahead of Week 14's matchup versus the Falcons.

Abdullah rushed once for six yards in Sunday's 27-21 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Abdullah saw his involvement scaled back significantly in quarterback Cam Newton's first start.

In fact, they played just nine offensive snaps combined. Whether that cut in playing time is a sign of things to come or just a one-week change, Abdullah's reserve role behind McCaffrey restricts his fantasy value regardless.

Makes four grabs
Abdullah rushed once for no yards but caught four of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Abdullah worked behind the now-healthy Christian McCaffrey and rookie Chuba Hubbard, but he still managed to make an impact in the passing game. Although his third-string status should restrict his weekly upside, especially as McCaffrey's workload increases, Abdullah's skills in obvious throwing situations could help Carolina here and there.

Gets involved Sunday
Abdullah rushed eight times for 31 yards and caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Abdullah only signed with Carolina last week but already played a meaningful role in Sunday's win. Only starting tailback Chuba Hubbard garnered more carries, while only top wideout DJ Moore was ahead of him in receiving. Although the versatile veteran did well in his debut, the potential return of superstar Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) in Week 9 versus the Patriots could immediately reduce Abdullah's role, making the Panthers' backfield situation worth monitoring.

Analysis: Abdullah's release was the corresponding move to allow Kene Nwangwu to take a spot on the active roster as the third-string back behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison. Abdullah has a fairly lengthy track record in the league, so he should find a home either on another active roster or on a practice squad.

Officially joins Minnesota
Abdullah signed a contract with the Vikings on Saturday.
Analysis: This move doesn't impact Dalvin Cook's (ankle) availability for Sunday's contest given the Vikings had already used Abdullah's two practice squad call-ups prior to this week. The veteran tailback has played just 10 offensive snaps through two weeks, but that workload would go drastically up in the event Cook is unable to play.

Drops to practice squad
The Vikings released Abdullah and signed him to the practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: The Vikings are keeping Abdullah close because they only have two running backs -- Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison -- on their active roster. Through two games, Abdullah has recorded 19 yards on three touches.

Signed to active roster
Abdullah signed a contract with the Vikings on Saturday.
Analysis: Abdullah actually played a crucial role in the Week 1 contetst, registering as many snaps as nominal backup Alexander Mattison, but saw just three total touches in the contest. Practice squad call-up rules would have forced the Vikings to officially sign Abdullah to the active roster as soon as next week had they elevated him a second time, so this designation isn't exactly surprising.

Three touches Sunday
Abdullah had one carry for four yards and two receptions for 15 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Abdullah played as many snaps as Alexander Mattison behind starter Dalvin Cook. It looks like Abdullah will be in the third-down running back mix, but Cook will still dominate the touches. Abdullah may be moved up and down from the practice squad in a transaction scheme all season to save an active roster spot, but it looks like he'll have a small but steady role on offense and important role on special teams.

Jumps up to active roster
Abdullah was elevated to the Vikings' active roster Saturday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: The Vikings previously had just two active running backs on the roster in form of Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison, so this move makes complete sense. The veteran castoff has been primarily a special teams player over the past two seasons, accumulating over 500 snaps combined since 2019.

Remains with Minneosta
Abdullah signed with the Vikings' practice squad Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Abdullah was cut by the Vikings on Tuesday but will stick around the organization on the practice squad. The 28-year-old could join the 53-man roster ahead of Week 1 since Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison are the only running backs currently on the roster.

Exits Minnesota
Abdullah was released by the Vikings on Tuesday.
Analysis: Abdullah was competing with Kene Nwangwu (knee) for the No. 3 running back role behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison. It looks like he ultimately got beat out for the job. The seventh-year running back suited up for 42 games with Minnesota over the previous three seasons.

Totals 41 yards
Abdullah rushed the ball five times for 29 yards in Saturday's preseason contest against Denver. He added two receptions for 12 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah was the team's first back on the field with both Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison held out of the game. He didn't carry a heavy workload but broke off gains of nine and 12 yards to account for the majority of his production. Abdullah figures to have the inside track for the third position on the running back depth chart, though he'll have to hold off Kene Nwangwu (knee) and A.J. Rose.

Staying with Vikes
Abdullah agreed to a contract Wednesday with Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The 2015 second-round pick never panned out as a lead ballcarrier, but he's carved out a six-year career to this point by living on special teams. He's played only 212 offensive snaps in 39 career games for the Vikings, taking 55 touches for 313 yards and three touchdowns. Abdullah will likely enter training camp as Minnesota's third or fourth running back, but he could be the top option for kick returns.

Has 16 touches in 2020
Abdullah ended his 2020 season carrying the ball eight times for 42 yards and catching eight of his nine targets for 58 yards in 16 games. He also had two touchdown receptions
Analysis: Abdullah hasn't been a fantasy asset since 2017 with the Lions. In three seasons since then between Detroit and Minnesota, he has 58 touches in 42 games. With Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison ahead of him on the depth chart, the 27-year-old Abdullah wasn't a vital part of the Vikings' ground attack. Abdullah, an unrestricted free agent once again, won't be much more than a depth option wherever he lands.

No offensive touches
Abdullah returned one kickoff for 30 yards during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: The 27-year-old had eight offensive touches over the previous two contests, but he played only one offensive snap with the return of Alexander Mattison Sunday. However, Mattison suffered a concussion, so Abdullah could return to a minor offensive role down the stretch.

Gets five touches Sunday
Abdullah had three carries for 11 yards and two receptions for ten yards in Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Abdullah continues to get more work with Alexander Mattison (abdomen) out, but neither he nor Mike Boone (four snaps) are getting enough touches for viable fantasy value in most formats. Dalvin Cook continues to get almost all the work (22 carries, two receptions and played on 54 of the offense's 79 snaps) as the starting running back.

Generates 29 yards from scrimmage
Abdullah rushed twice for 11 yards and caught his lone target for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Jaguars.
Analysis: With Alexander Mattison (abdomen) out, Abdullah handled just four snaps on offense, while Mike Boone played just two. Dalvin Cook simply absorbed Mattison's workload and finished with 38 touches and an 87 percent snap share. In turn, Abdullah can't be trusted as a fantasy player unless both Cook and Mattison are sidelined.

Scores TD against Lions
Abdullah had one reception for a 22-yard touchdown in Sunday's win over Detroit.
Analysis: Abdullah played just one snap on offense and he's had just two receptions all season (along with two carries), so we wouldn't read too much into this touchdown. Abdullah is fourth on the RB depth chart and will only be a significant factor if both Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison are sidelined.

Larger role off bench
Abdullah had two carries for seven yards and one reception for one yard on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He also added three kick returns for an average of 24.3 yards.
Analysis: Abdullah played on 16 of the offense's 56 snaps as he got more playing time than Mike Boone (five snaps) as Alexander Mattison's backup with Dalvin Cook sidelined with a groin injury with the Vikings needing to throw the ball after falling behind big early. Abdullah will likely return to a minimal role with Cook expected to return after Minnesota's Week 7 bye.

No touches Sunday
Abdullah did not have a carry or reception in Sunday's loss to Green Bay. He played just two snaps on offense.
Analysis: Abdullah's role with the Vikings has shrunk this season. While he's third on the depth chart at RB, Mike Boone would likely supplant him if Dalvin Cook or Alexander Mattison were to get hurt and the team needed someone to get significant carries. K.J. Osborn has also taken over as the primary kickoff returner, which will limit Abdullah's value on special teams.

Back with Minnesota
The Vikings have re-signed Abdullah.
Analysis: The 26-year-old logged 23 carries for 115 yards to go along with 15 catches for 88 yards and a TD in 16 games for the team last season. Now that he's back in the fold, Abdullah will continue to serve as a depth option in Minnesota's backfield and should also reprise his role as the squad's primary kickoff returner in 2020.

Limited production in 2019
Abdullah rushed 23 times for 115 yards and caught 15 passes for 88 yards and a score over 16 regular-season appearances.
Analysis: Abdullah logged the bulk of his touches over the final three games as Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison were battling injuries, but he consistently contributed as a kick returner. The 2015 second-round pick will be an unrestricted free agent if he isn't re-signed by the Vikings, and he may seek an increased role elsewhere.

Gains 36 yards
Abdullah ran for 22 yards on six carries and added 14 yards on three catches during Sunday's 21-19 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Abdullah took on the RB2 role, again, with both Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) resting in what was a meaningless game for the Vikings. Not that 36 yards is too much to get excited about, but it'd be foolish to expect even that Sunday against the Saints. Abdullah has had 24 touches in the past three games with the top of the depth chart dinged up, but only 14 touches prior to that this season. Assuming Cook and/or Mattison are ready to play, Abdullah's role should be very…read more

Picks up 58 yards in loss
Abdullah caught six of seven targets for 31 yards and added 27 yards on four carries during Monday's 23-10 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: With Dalvin Cook (chest) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) both on the shelf, Abdullah played 32 snaps on offense Monday, 14 more than fellow reserve back Mike Boone. He ended up leading the Vikings in targets and catches along the way. The Vikings will be the NFC's No. 6 seed in the playoffs regardless of Sunday's result against the Bears, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the team rested Cook and Mattison again. Abdullah caught two passes for 14 yards in limited action against Chicago in Week 4.

Gets five carries Sunday
Abdullah had five carries for 25 yards and didn't record a catch despite two targets in Sunday's win at the Chargers.
Analysis: Abdullah got more carries than usual with Dalvin Cook leaving the game with a shoulder injury and Alexander Mattison inactive with an ankle injury. Mike Boone took over as the primary ballcarrier late in the blowout win. Boone likely would get the most carries if both Cook and Mattison are out again next week with Abdullah working in a backup and passing-down role.

Gains two yards in win
Abdullah caught his only target during Sunday's 20-7 win over Detroit for a two-yard gain.
Analysis: Abdullah got involved in the offense Sunday after not recording a touch the prior week. Not that anyone was going to get too excited by a two-yard gain, but his value remains very low as he plays behind two very talented backs in Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison and has been touchless in five of his last eight outings, gaining 36 total yards during that span. Sunday brings a challenge in the Chargers' 10th-ranked run defense, surrendering just 4.1 yards per carry

Scores TD Sunday
Abdullah had one carry for two yards and one reception for a 16-yard touchdown on his only target in Sunday's 26-23 loss at Kansas City.
Analysis: Abdullah played eight plays on offense as he got more snaps than Alexander Mattison, which was odd in a game where the Vikings were expected to utilize the run more than the pass. Mattison is still ahead of Abdullah on the depth chart, but Abdullah could find extra time in passing situations if the Viking fall behind.
