Las Vegas Raiders DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also caught two of his three targets for an additional 11 receiving yards. McCormick, officially signed to the active roster this week, played admirably while filling in for Alexander Mattison (ankle) and Zamir White (quad). McCormick's efficiency and productivity also allowed him to operate as the Raiders' clear No. 1 running back over Ameer Abdullah. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this backfield, as it's possible that McCormick remains the lead back even after Mattison and White return from their respective injuries. The 24-year-old should be treated as a solid RB3 option in fantasy football ahead of next week's battle with the Atlanta Falcons.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was placed in an air cast and carted to the locker room during the third quarter. At the time of his departure, O'Connell had completed 11 of his 19 pass attempts for 104 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He also had six rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. While O'Connell's stats weren't amazing, he helped keep the Raiders competitive and never trailing by more than four points. Desmond Ridder has replaced O'Connell at quarterback. If O'Connell misses extended time, Ridder would be in line to start against his old team, the Atlanta Falcons, in Week 15.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row, but the expectation all along was that he would not be able to suit up. With both Mattison and Zamir White (quadricep) sidelined for the third consecutive week, the Raiders will turn to Ameer Abdullah as their primary running back. Sincere McCormick should also continue to carve out a solid workload against the Bucs.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is officially active for Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. Meyers has been heavily involved over the last two weeks, turning 26 targets into 16 catches for 218 yards during that span. A high-volume, high-production receiver, Meyers remains a solid low-end WR2 option for fantasy managers this week. Managers are able to start him with confidence as he continues to thrive in his No. 1 wide receiver role alongside star rookie tight end Brock Bowers.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is a "long-shot" to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Running back Zamir White (quad) has already been ruled out, leaving Sincere McCormick and veteran journeyman Ameer Abdullah as the top options. Mattison has only 320 yards this season, which leads the team. At this stage of the season, a fantasy manager relying upon anybody in the Raiders' running game is asking for a bad time.
