As expected, Kenyan Drake is signing with the Ravens.

Those who have fantasy stock in the Ravens backfield were likely pretty worried when word got out Drake was visiting the Ravens. Now that he's signed, the backfield has got a little more crowded to say the least. Drake's role will likely be mostly pass catching, especially when the backfield is healthy. We know Edwards won't be ready for Week 1, and Dobbins remains a big question mark. That means a backfield of Davis and Drake for Week 1 is a possibility.

The Raiders plan to release veteran RB Kenyan Drake, per source.

Raiders beat writer Maurice Morton added to Pelissero's tweet that he's "not surprised about this." He said Abdullah hasn’t played the last 2 preseason games and he clearly surpassed Drake on the Raiders RB depth chart. In his eyes, the depth chart goes: Jacobs, White, Abdullah and Bolden. Drake could catch on somewhere else but his role may not be as significant as it once was.

Josh McDaniels reiterated today that he is not exploring a trade to ship Jacobs out of Las Vegas.

This is probably worse in fantasy land than if they simply found him a new home. It certainly raised some eyebrows when veteran Jacobs got some run in the Hall of Fame Game last week, a contest typically reserved for backups and players fighting for a spot on the roster, not RB1s. The Raiders already had Kenyan Drake in Jacobs' RB room before the team added Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, and fourth-round pick Zamir White. Jacobs is getting squeezed in every direction, but most discouraging, in the receiving game, where he doubled his career reception total in 2021 en route to his RB16 finish.

The Las Vegas Raiders have placed RB Kenyan Drake (ankle) on IR.

A horrible end to his season, but Drake more than showed his ability to work in tandem with Josh Jacobs.

Raiders RB Kenyan Drake suffered a broken ankle in Sunday's game, sources say.

As a result, he is out for the season. Drake was the team’s second-leading rusher. Richard and Barber will get work behind Jacobs going forward. Both are a Jacobs injury away from more significant playing time and those in deeper leagues may want to take a chance.

Raiders RB Kenyan Drake is out for the rest of the season with a broken ankle suffered in Sunday's loss to Washington.

Drake was tackled awkwardly during the second quarter and was carted off the field. Drake was in his first season with the Raiders after signing a two-year, $14.5 million contract in the offseason. He finishes the season with 254 yards and two touchdowns on 62 Carrie’s and had 30 catches for 291 yards and a touchdown. Vegas lost on a late field goal against Washington to fall to 6-6, killing the momentum they started building after their win in Dallas on Thanksgiving.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (ankle) and WR DeSean Jackson (calf) are questionable for Week 13 against the Washington Football Team.

Jacobs is truly questionable as he popped up on the injury report Thursday, while Jackson practiced for the first time this week on Friday.

The failures don’t all fall on the offensive line. The Texans’ two qualified rushers, Mark Ingram and Phillip Lindsay, have both gained fewer yards than expected by Next Gen Stats tracking data. Lindsay has run 9.6 actual yards for every yard gained, which is league’s highest average by a wide margin. The second-least efficient running back, Las Vegas’ Kenyan Drake, has run 6.6 actual yards for every yard gained — three full yards fewer than Lindsay. This matches up with the eye test, as six of Lindsay’s 20 carries have not advanced past the line of scrimmage, with him often seeking to bounce runs outside only to find no hole.

The Texans RBs aren't really a highly-desired play by most fantasy managers anyway, but this confirms the struggles. The story pointed out the team does face a lot of "eight-in-the-box" formations by defenses looking to stop the run, and those defenses have proven to be good against the run the rest of the season too. For a while this offseason, it looked like Lindsay would be the team's primary ball carrier but that hasn't happened and doesn't seem to be in the cards based on his early struggles.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (multiple issues) did not practice Wednesday according to Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.

Jacobs is in danger of missing his second straight game and ceding work to Drake and Barber. The Dolphins defense have allowed one 100-yard rusher and three rushing touchdowns through two games.

Raiders coach Jon Gruden told reporters QB Derek Carr (ankle) is questionable and RB Josh Jacobs is "very questionable" for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Jacobs is dealing with a toe injury and didn't go in Week 2. Barber stole 12 carries but only produced 32 yards. Drake made his money in the passing game hauling in five catches for 46 yards. With Marcus Mariota on IR, Peterman would be next up if Carr can't go.
