Alexander Mattison
Las Vegas Raiders Running Back Situation Murky, At Best
3 weeks ago

The Las Vegas Raiders will likely be down their two starting running backs against the Broncos.

The Las Vegas Raiders already share the worst record in the NFL, and their season continues to go from bad to worse. Alexander Mattison and Zamir White, the Raiders leading running backs on the depth chart, are both designated as “Doubtful” for their visit to Denver in Week 12.

 

Mattison suffered an ankle injury against Miami in Week 11 and White straind his quadriceps in the same game.

 

If neither back can play, the Raiders will be left with veteran Ameer Abdullah and rookie Dylan Laube as their top 2 options as the Raiders face the 10th stingiest defense against running backs in fantasy. Whichever tandem Vegas is able to roll out should only be used in emergency or in the deepest of leagues.
