#Raiders HC Antonio Pierce said RB Alexander Mattison remains the starter.

C Andre James (ankle) won't practice today. G Dylan Parham (foot) will.

Related Players: Zamir White

Mattison will hold onto the role for now, but it's not the most lucrative position for fantasy points. Consider him a fringe RB2/3 for Week 9.

Pierce said #Raiders RB Zamir White (groin) is doubtful. DE Maxx Crosby (ankle) and G Dylan Parham (achilles) will practice today.

It looks like Mattison will get the nod and most of the ground game work, but he is in an awful situation with an offense that is nosediving. Dylan Laube and Ameer Abdullah should be involved in the pass game, which regulates Mattison to RB2/3 territory.

Pierce said the Raiders will roll with the hot hand at RB.

The post said Mattison's wife actually went into labor on Sunday right before the game and their baby later that night, and that Pierce sounded pleased with what Mattison put on tape. Mattison had just five carries to White's 13, but Mattison made his mark in the passing game when he hauled in four catches for 43 yards and the team's only TD. Mattison has flashed in the past playing for the Vikings, so it's not a surprise he could earn himself more carries. This could end up being a tough situation week-to-week for fantasy owners of both White and Mattison, however. Mattison is likely available on your wire and if you're in need at RB, may be worth a pickup.

Raiders rookie RB Dylan Laube might be making a move on the depth chart.

Bonsignore's post went on to say Laube has been getting first team reps in the third-down offense, and, he's looked impressive with the ball in his hands. White looked good himself last season, but it was only a four-game sample size. Laube has a chance to make a big jump on the depth chart and is a player to watch this offseason. It sounds like from the post he at least can be the team's third down and change of pace back if the trend continues.

Former Vikings RB Alexander Mattison is signing with the Raiders.

Zamir White's prospects as the No. 1 option in the Raiders backfield only lasted a few weeks, with Mattison very likely slotting in as the RB1 in Las Vegas. The two will be splitting time more often than when Josh Jacobs was in town, though.
White remains a great late-round option.

The Packers are expected to sign Josh Jacobs.

Related Players: Aaron Jones, Zamir White

Jones had restructured his deal with Green Bay, so this will be a two-headed attack with Jones/Jacobs. Both options figure to canibalize each other, but it's a clear talent upgrade for the Packers backfield.

Zamir White is the RB1 in Las Vegas as it stands, with the team expected to target the position in the NFL Draft.

It looks like the Raiders’ bid to end their losing streak against the Chiefs will unfold without the help of running back Josh Jacobs.

Jacobs was listed as questionable for the Christmas game in Kansas City and Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that he will be inactive for the game. Jacobs has a quad injury and an illness.

Monday’s game would be the second in a row that Jacobs has missed. It's a tough break for owners who waited with hope that Jacobs would play as all the reports leading up to today seemed positive. It looks like White, Abdullah and Bolden will split up the RB duties today in a tough matchup against the Chiefs.

Antonio Pierce said if he was a betting man, he would bet that both Raiders RB Josh Jacobs and LT Kolton Miller are back for the Chiefs game on Monday.

Zamir White did a good job of holding down the fort last week, notching 16 half-PPR points on 20 opportunities. He will likely return to clean-up duties with Josh Jacobs returning to his bellcow role, making Jacobs an easy click if he is cleared.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs, listed as questionable with a quad, is going to be out tonight vs the Chargers. Jacobs didn’t practice this week.

Zamir White is slated to be the starter.

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah, Zamir White, Brandon Bolden

With Jacobs out, we would more than likely see a heavy rotation that will feature three backs, with Zamir White leading the way. White should be considered a desperation play as an RB3.

Josh Jacobs has been dealing with a quad injury all week, stemming from last week's game. He did not practice at all this week. His status is very much in doubt.

With Jacobs out, we would more than likely see a heavy rotation that will feature three backs, with Zamir White leading the way. That doesn't instill enough confidence to start any of their pieces here in the fantasy playoffs.
