The Raiders are facing a challenging situation in their backfield as both Alexander Mattison and Zamir White missed practice on Wednesday due to injuries sustained in their Week 11 loss against the Dolphins. With both players potentially sidelined for their upcoming game against the Broncos, the team may rely on Ameer Abdullah and rookie Dylan Laube, neither of whom have proven to be reliable options for fantasy owners. This situation makes the Raiders' backfield one to avoid in Week 12 fantasy lineups.
- Raiders RBs Alexander Mattison and Zamir White are both injured and did not practice.
- Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube are the next options in the backfield, but both have limited experience and production.
