DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Minnesota Vikings

In the win at Chicago last Sunday, Ameer Abdullah ran for just 22 yards on 11 carries and caught 2 passes for 13 yards, including a 2-yard TD. Despite averaging less than 50 yards per game on the ground, he has scored in three straight. In early October at Minnesota, Abdullah finished with 20 carries for a season-high 94 yards against a good defense. He should be considered a low-end RB2/flex play on Thanksgiving against the No. 2 defense at stopping the run.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Chicago Bears

In the win over Cleveland last Sunday, Ameer Abdullah led the Lions ground attack with 11 carries for 52 yards and he scored his third TD of the season. While he has scored in back-to-back weeks, Abdullah has not posted over 60 total yards since October 1. Chicago is allowing 110 yards per game on the ground, making the Detroit back an RB2 play.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Cleveland Browns

In the cold last Monday night at Lambeau Field, Ameer Abdullah rushed for 48 yards on 21 carries and caught a 9-yard pass. He scored his second TD of the season and just missed out on another, but fumbled at the 1-yard line. Abdullah put the ball on the ground twice, losing one, but will remain the team’s top ball-carrier on Sunday at home versus the Browns. Cleveland allows just 84 yards per game on the ground, making the Detroit back an RB2 play.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Green Bay Packers

In the frustrating loss to Pittsburgh last Sunday night, Ameer Abdullah finished with 11 rushes for just 27 yards and 3 receptions for 11 additional yards. While no Lions RB ever eclipses the century mark anymore, in the past three contests Abdullah is averaging 13 touches for only 42 yards. It’s tough to bench a starting RB who has the potential to bust a long run at any time, but expectations should remain tempered for Detroit’s top back, especially at Green Bay.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

With Matthew Stafford throwing the ball 52 times two Sundays ago at New Orleans, Ameer Abdullah paced the ground game with 14 carries for 54 yards. He was bottled up for much of the day, as 34 of his yards came on one attempt. Abdullah will continue to be the Lions’ featured RB, but he has a tough matchup at home against the Steelers, as they possess the No. 15 defense against the run. Abdullah is an RB2 option this week.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New Orleans Saints

Even though Ameer Abdullah received 10 of the Lions' 15 rushing attempts last Sunday versus Carolina, it was Zach Zenner who scored the team’s lone TD on the ground. After running for 94 yards at Minnesota in Week 4, Abdullah finished with just 31 yards in the loss to the Panthers, as Detroit was trying to play catchup for much of the afternoon. On Sunday, the Lions top RB will be facing a New Orleans defense ranked No. 17 against the rush. Therefore, consider Abdullah an RB2 option, regardless who is starting at quarterback for the team.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Carolina Panthers

Before leaving with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter last Sunday at Minnesota, Ameer Abdullah scored his first TD of the year. In the win, he carried the ball 20 times for a season-high 94 yards and caught 3 passes for 15 additional yards. Abdullah will be fine to play versus the Panthers on Sunday, but be cautious about expecting another big game from him, as Carolina is allowing just 87 rushing yards per game. The Detroit back should be used as an RB2 play.
