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.

MIN RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Green Bay Packers

Ameer Abdullah is the third-string back behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison, and with both backs expected to be out, you'd think Abdullah would be in line for a big game. Wrong. Mike Boone is expected to be the primary runner, as he was in Week 15. Abdullah will get playing time, but likely not enough to make him relevant for fantasy purposes.

MIN RB Ameer Abdullah - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Ameer Abdullah is a former second-round draft pick who had some success on the Lions in his first four years. He was picked up by the Vikings last season and didn’t see much action on offense, but has a chance to rise up on the depth chart this season with Latavius Murray out of the picture.

Fantasy Downside
Abdullah had one offensive touch in his seven games with the Vikings last season, a catch for 10 yards. Minnesota used Abdullah as its return man in 2018 rather than an offensive weapon. That could change in 2019, but there’s nothing to really indicate that’s the case.

2019 Bottom Line
Minnesota drafted Alexander Mattison in the third round and also kept Mike Boone, who saw more touches on offense than Abdullah in 2018. When discussing the running back group to reporters, head coach Mike Zimmer discussed Mattison and Boone as competing for the backup spot without mentioning Abdullah. Expect Abdullah to mostly see special teams touches.
