Samaje Perine News
Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday. The 26-year-old tested positive for the virus and could miss Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions if he cannot clear NFL protocols. He logged a team-high 11 carries for 59 yards while hauling in four receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown in Week 5's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Bengals starting running back Joe Mixon (ankle) was limited in Week 5 due to an ankle injury; Chris Evans would see an expanded role if Perine cannot suit up in Week 6. The Bengals also placed guard Jackson Carman on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Stay tuned for further updates.
Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine got some work during the overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday. With Joe Mixon (ankle) participating in a limited capacity, The 26-year-old logged a team-high 11 carries for 59 yards. Even better for PPR participants, he had four receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown. It's unknown how long Mixon will be restricted, but he seemed healthier than expected, mainly since he managed to scrounge together 10 touches for 33 yards and a score. Still, managers in all fantasy setups should continue to hang on to the Perine, especially if Mixon continues to play less than usual.
The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed running back Samaje Perine to an undisclosed two-year deal. Perine had 74 touches last season for 367 yards and three touchdowns for the Bengals in 16 games (one start). The 25-year-old will once again compete for touches as the No. 2 with Giovani Bernard behind Joe Mixon. Perine was a fourth-round pick by Washington in 2017 out of Oklahoma. He spent his first two years in the NFL with Washington, carrying the ball 183 times for 635 yards and one touchdown in 21 games (eight starts). He spent the 2019 season with the Miami Dolphins and the Bengals. Perine has 251 career carries for 952 yards and four touchdowns in 44 games (nine starts) over four NFL seasons. He should begin the 2021 season on the waiver wire in all fantasy leagues.
