La'Mical Perine News
The Kansas City Chiefs released running back La'Mical Perine on Friday. Perine was taken by the New York Jets in the fourth round (120th overall) in 2020 out of Florida. He spent his first three years with the Jets and only played in 14 games (zero starts) over two years, racking up 263 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 72 rushing attempts, adding 11 receptions for 63 yards. The 26-year-old joined the Chiefs for the 2023 campaign and had 22 carries for 77 yards and added three catches for 33 yards in just three regular-season games (one start). He's now on the open market and will be looking to join another squad for training camp this summer. No matter where Perine latches on, he'll be well off the fantasy radar and will just be trying to make the team out of training camp and the preseason.
Kansas City Chiefs running back La'Mical Perine shouldered a bell-cow role in Week 18's regular-season finale as the team topped the Los Angeles Chargers 13-12, carrying the ball 21 times for 76 yards with three catches for 33 yards. Isiah Pacheco (quadriceps/shoulder) was inactive for Sunday's date, as the Chiefs rested their top playmakers ahead of the postseason, and Perine handled the interim lead-back role fairly well. Clyde Edwards-Helaire made a brief cameo early in the game for three touches before joining the key producers on the sidelines. The 25-year-old former New York Jet is settled in as K.C.'s No. 3 tailback with Jerick McKinnon (groin) on injured reserve but would likely only be called upon during the playoffs in the event of an injury to Pacheco or Edwards-Helaire, so he won't be fantasy relevant on Saturday versus the Miami Dolphins for Wild Card play.
The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back La'Mical Perine to a Reserve/Futures Deal on Wednesday. The team also signed Kendall Blanton, Dicaprio Bootle, Matt Bushman, Mike Caliendo, Cole Christiansen, Jerrion Early, Chris Oladokun, Cornell Powell, Austin Reiter, Danny Shelton and Ihmir Smith-Marsette. The 25-year-old Perine didn't sign to Kansas City's practice squad until last month, and he didn't see any playing time in a game. The former fourth-rounder by the New York Jets in 2020 has played in two seasons with New York, carrying the ball 72 times for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games (zero starts). Sixty four of his 72 carries came in his rookie campaign. Perine will give the Chiefs more depth at the position heading into the 2023 season.
