The Raiders re-signed Abdullah on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Abdullah has spent the last two seasons with the Raiders, and he'll now remain with the team for the immediate future. The 2015 second-round pick has appeared in all 34 of the Raiders' games since signing with the team, recording 451 yards from scrimmage on 63 touches. The veteran running back is expected to serve as a depth piece in Las Vegas' backfield once again in 2024.

Abdullah ended his 2023 campaign with 15 total carries for 89 yards to go along with 19 receptions for 131 yards on 24 targets in 17 games.
EDGE 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.

Abdullah rushed once for four yards and caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.
EDGE 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.

Abdullah rushed twice for 11 yards and caught his only target for one yard in Monday's 20-14 win over the Chiefs.
EDGE 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.

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.
EDGE 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.

Abdullah rushed once for 12 yards and caught both his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE 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. Fellow reserves Zamir White and Brandon Bolden could factor into the backfield equation as well.

Abdullah rushed once for 11 yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE 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. Abdullah has six receptions over the team's last five games, though he's yet to find the end zone this season.

Abdullah caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE 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.

Abdullah caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Abdullah earned just one touch across his 10 offensive snaps on Sunday Night Football, while starter Josh Jacobs retained a workhorse role with 27 carries for 116 yards to go along with two catches on as many targets for 11 yards. Expect a similarly light backfield split for Abdullah against the Dolphins in Week 11.

Abdullah rushed twice for eight yards and caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.
EDGE 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. Nonetheless, starter Josh Jacobs continues to dominate opportunities out of the Raiders' backfield, and that figures to continue against the Jets in Week 10.
