BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick has taken advantage of his recent opportunities and is worth adding in all standard formats ahead of Week 15.
With Zamir White (quadriceps) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) both missing each of the past three games, McCormick has seen a significant uptick in opportunities. In Week 12, Ameer Abdullah was deployed as the lead option, but McCormick impressed, tallying 33 yards on just five carries.
The following week, McCormick earned half of the opportunities in the backfield and continued to showcase his upside, tallying 5.3 yards per carry compared to Abdullah's 3.9 yards per carry.
“You only get a shot, do not miss your chance to play,” Sincere McCormick in his head probably as he spun out of two tackles.

On Sunday, McCormick continued to see an uptick in opportunities as he saw a season-high 15 carries. In this game, McCormick posted an impressive 78 yards on just 15 attempts. In addition, this was the first time McCormick saw more total snaps and logged more carries than Abdullah, suggesting he had surpassed him on the depth chart.
While Mattison or White could return this weekend, given his strong play as of late, the Raiders may view McCormick as their No. 1 running back for the remainder of the season, making him a viable flex option in all formats.
