Alexander Mattison

Raiders RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. Both guys were knocked out of the Week 11 loss to the Dolphins and are seemingly in danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. Their absences would leave the backfield to Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube. The former hasn't tallied double-digit carries in a game since 2017; the latter is a sixth-round rookie who fumbled on his only touch of the season. We'll keep you updated on Mattison and White, but this is a backfield to avoid in Week 12 fantasy lineups.

As the Raiders begin their week of preparation for the Broncos, they won't have a few key players on the field.

Both Mattison and Zamir White (quad) will begin Week 12 with DNP designations after being forced from play in Week 11. Mattison was barely fantasy-relevant before this development. His injury makes him an easy drop candidate.

The ineffectual north-south rusher was forced from play in Week 11, as was backfield-mate Alexander Mattison (ankle). The two kickoff Week 12 unable to participate, potentially consolidating touches to long-time veteran Ameer Abdullah. Pierce may opt to give rookie Dylan Laube another shot though.
