SIT ‘EM
. Running Back. Lions. Ameer Abdullah. 2. player. 50
For those who drafted Ameer Abdullah thinking he’d return to his 2015 rookie form, we all have been greatly disappointed. Abdullah has yet to hit 100 yards rushing in any game this year and will be coming off a week off due to injury.
Abdullah is still not a safe option to start.
Theo Riddick is getting a decent share of the carries for the Lions too, but Abdullah hasn’t helped himself at all. In his last game (week 12 against the Vikings), the former Husker rushed for just 14 yards off of six carries.
Yes, that game was against Minnesota, but Abdullah is still not a safe option to start. He hasn’t given his fantasy owners any reason to trust slotting him in as a starting running back to this point, so why start now?
Keep Ameer Abdullah on the bench this week…and perhaps for the rest of the season.
