Scouting report

CAR RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New Orleans Saints

Ameer Abdullah had two carries and three catches for nine yards last week. It was a miserable outing for the Carolina offense, and it’s hard to trust anyone in that backfield right now. In PPR formats, he has some upside given his targets since being elevated to the active roster in Carolina, but this offense is a wreck, and staying away entirely against a tough Saints defense is probably best for everyone involved.

CAR RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Ameer Abdullah found the end zone last week against Buffalo and finished the game with four carries and four catches for 55 yards. He has some upside in PPR formats, since he seems to be taking work away from Chuba Hubbard, but an average of six touches per game over his last three isn’t enticing enough to make him a truly viable fantasy option. He should be considered a desperation option in PPR leagues only.

CAR RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Buffalo Bills

Ameer Abdullah had 33 yards on four carries and two receptions last week against the Falcons. It’s nice to see him carving a role for himself in this offense, but the Panthers haven’t been much of an offensive powerhouse for much of the season – especially over the second half – making it hard to get excited about their complementary back. If you are desperate and in a PPR format, you could use him as a dart throw in the flex spot, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere if possible.

CAR RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Ameer Abdullah isn’t lighting the world on fire or anything, but he has some upside in PPR formats. He has 20 targets in five games since arriving in Carolina, and with Christian McCaffrey now shelved for the rest of the season, his role in the passing game could expand significantly.

In a great matchup against the Falcons, who rank 27th in aFPA to opposing running backs, Abdullah is a decent RB3 dart throw in deeper leagues, given his potential targets. He’s risky, but in a nice matchup with a defined role, desperate fantasy managers could do worse.

CAR RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. New England Patriots

Ameer Abdullah had eight carries and three catches for 66 yards last week against the Falcons. I wouldn’t expect a lot of that as the season continues, but it was nice to see him get some supplemental work in his new uniform after languishing on special teams in Minnesota. Keep an eye on his role, but he’s not worth rostering just yet, unless it’s as a speculative stash option.

MIN RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Detroit

Abdullah hasn’t gotten many opportunities this season, but he’ll get ample chances to produce this week with Dalvin Cook set to miss the final game. Expected to split a timeshare with Alexander Mattison and Mike Boone, Abdullah should be the better play in PPR formats and could see a bulk of his work through the passing game. Keep Abdullah as a low-end RB2 in this one.

MIN RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Chicago Bears

Ameer Abdullah didn't get a lot of hype heading into last week, but he actually out-performed Mike Boone. He was a solid start in PPR leagues, finishing 6-31 on seven targets as a receiver. This week is a weird one for the Vikings since it's unclear who is going to play since Minnesota has nothing to gain. Abdullah should be viewed as nothing more than a desperation flex play in Week 17.
