Abdullah rushed once for seven yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.
EDGE 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. Barring an injury to starter Josh Jacobs, Abdullah should remain far off the fantasy radar going forward. Nonetheless, the 30-year-old will continue to operate as the Raiders' top backup option when the Raiders host the Giants in Week 9.

Abdullah rushed once for four yards and caught his only target for 11 yards in Monday's 17-13 win over the Packers.
EDGE 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.

Abdullah caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers.
EDGE 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.
EDGE 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.

Abdullah caught one pass for five yards on three targets in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills.
EDGE 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. Zamir White remains the primary backup to Jacobs on the ground, severely limiting Abdullah's path to fantasy relevance against the Steelers in Week 3.

Abdullah was targeted once in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos, but he finished the contest without a single touch.
EDGE Analysis
Abdullah logged only seven offensive snaps while the Raiders unsurprisingly leaned on starter Josh Jacobs as the workhorse out of the backfield. Abdullah figures to continue providing relief on passing downs against the Bills in Week 2.

The Raiders re-signed Abdullah to a one-year contract Thursday, KPRC 2 Houston's Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE 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.
EDGE 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.

Abdullah did not record an offensive touch in nine snaps during Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers.
EDGE 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 caught both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Abdullah failed to see a single rush in the contest while Josh Jacobs handled 16 total touches. The 29-year-old played just 10 of the Raiders' 53 offensive snaps in the contest as Jacobs continues to operate as a workhorse back. Barring an injury, Abdullah should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 17 matchup with the 49ers.
