sportingnews.com December 11, 2024, 09:01 PM UTC

Sincere McCormick has emerged as the leading running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, averaging 5.5 yards per carry over the past three weeks. He has outperformed teammates Zamir White and Alexander Mattison, who averaged 2.8 and 3.3 yards per carry, respectively. Head coach Antonio Pierce confirmed that McCormick will be the starter moving forward, despite the return of veteran Mattison from injury. McCormick's performance has solidified his role, especially with White on season-ending injured reserve. McCormick, 24, is under contract through 2025, positioning him as a key player for the Raiders' future. Mattison, set to become a free agent in 2025, is less likely to remain with the team.
