DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Green Bay Packers

In the loss at the Bengals last Sunday, Ameer Abdullah received only 6 carries for 21 yards and caught a 5-yard pass. He and Tion Green will likely split carries again in the season finale. Abdullah ran for 48 yards and a TD on 21 carries in the win at Green Bay last month, but has been limited in playing time since returning from a neck injury.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Cincinnati Bengals

In the win over Chicago last Saturday, Ameer Abdullah was used sparingly, finishing with just an 8-yard carry and catching 3 passes for 13 yards. Theo Riddick and rookie Tion Green combined for 18 of the team’s rushing attempts, a trend that will likely continue for the final two regular season games. With Abdullah’s lack of playing time and productivity, there is no reason for him to be in your lineup.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Chicago Bears

Despite being cleared to play after missing some time with a neck injury, Ameer Abdullah did not play last week in the win over the Bucs. Head Coach Jim Caldwell has not confirmed the RB as the team’s starter, but Theo Riddick has been somewhat effective the past two games, registering 3 TDs. Last month, the Bears stuffed Abdullah, holding him to 22 yards on 11 rushes; he did have a receiving TD in the Lions win, however. Abdullah should be pretty much fully recovered by Sunday, but is a risky start based on his role in the offense.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Ameer Abdullah missed the Lions game at the Ravens last week due to a neck injury. He was back at practice this week and is expected to return this week but be sure to check the injury report. The Bucs allow nearly 400 total yards per game, so consider Abdullah an RB2 option if he suits up.

DET RB Ameer Abdullah - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Baltimore Ravens

On Thanksgiving versus Minnesota, Ameer Abdullah had an unproductive outing, as he carried the ball just 6 times for 14 yards and caught 3 passes for 29 yards. After his 94-yard rushing effort in Week 4, he is averaging only 35 yards per game on the ground, but has found the end zone three times over the past seven contests. On the season, Abdullah is averaging 3.4 yards per carry and will be going against a solid Baltimore defense, although they’ve been vulnerable against the run. He should be considered at most a FLEX start.

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.
