Zamir White, the Raiders' running back, did not practice on Wednesday due to a groin injury, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming game. In his absence last week, Alexander Mattison stepped up, playing over half of the offensive snaps and receiving a decent workload. However, facing the Steelers' strong run defense could limit Mattison's fantasy potential.
