Raheem Mostert tells me he’s signing a 1-year, $2.1 million deal with Raiders.

Former Dolphins RB made the Pro Bowl in 2023 rushing for over 1K yards and totaling 21 TDs. Still has good juice left for Vegas squad that wants to run the ball.

This is unlikely to be the last movement we see in the Raiders backfield before the offseason is over, but Mostert finds himself in a great spot to carve out a role in his age-33 season. Because of the wear on his tires and history with injuries, we should probably take a wait-and-see approach before we declare how useful he can actually be in fantasy.

The Raiders used up their temporary practice squad elevations for running back Sincere McCormick, so they made a more lasting roster move on Tuesday.

McCormick has been signed to the 53-man roster in Las Vegas. Wide receiver D.J. Turner was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

McCormick played in the last two games for the Raiders as they were missing Mattison and White due to injuries. McCormick ran 12 times for 64 yards in last Friday’s loss to the Chiefs and he had five carries for 33 yards against the Broncos in Week 12, the story said. McCormick led the way for the Raiders against the Chiefs with 12 carries to Abdullah's 10. McCormick may be worth a pickup and stash at this point, as the Raiders are trying to figure out their roster for 2025. Mattison, White and Abdullah don't necessarily offer much future upside at the position, so it's possible the team will see what they have with McCormick going forward. However, keep an eye on the injury statuses of Mattison and White. The Raiders are at Tampa Bay in Week 14.

Here are the Raiders’ inactives for today’s game:

RB Zamir White
RB Alexander Mattison
CB Nate Hobbs
G Cody Whitehair
WR Ramel Keyton
TE Harrison Bryant
DT Matthew Butler

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah, Sincere McCormick, Dylan Laube

The Raiders backfield is a mess, and it's going to be difficult to fire up any of the remaining options. Abdullah is the best bet to score fantasy points but shouldn't be considered more than an RB4.

CB Jakorian Bennett was placed on the IR, out for at least the next 4 games.

Nate Hobbs and Zamir White out tomorrow against the Chiefs, Alexander Mattison questionable.

Chiefs kicker Spencer Shrader is out.

The Raiders backfield is a mess, and it's going to be difficult to fire up Mattison, even if he does play. Consider him, or whichever eventual starter, a fringe RB3/4.

Raiders RBs Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad) will also be OUT vs Broncos. "[Ameer] Abdullah will be the starter," said LV coach Antonio Pierce

Related Players: Dylan Laube, Sincere McCormick

This is a stay-away situation for any manager who isn't *deeply* desperate this week, as the Raiders play a very good Broncos defense. Ameer Abdullah is an RB3 at best in Week 12.

#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.

Related Players: Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah

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.
