Samaje Perine News
Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine finished with 47 yards off nine carries during the win over the New York Jets. He also had two catches for 14 yards and a touchdown. Joe Mixon (ankle) was injured and sat toward the end of the game, allowing Perine to get some action. With the Dolphins heading to town for Thursday Night Football, Mixon may be limited or even sit this one out altogether. Either way, Perine will draw interest heading into Week 4 and could be useful for managers in deep fantasy formats.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine was removed from the PUP list on Wednesday. The veteran missed all of OTAs with an undisclosed issue after finishing the 2021-22 campaign with 246 yards off 55 carries while adding 27 catches for 196 yards. He also combined for two touchdowns. Nonetheless, with Chris Evans expected to have a good chance of taking over the No. 2 spot behind Joe Mixon this season, Perine's fantasy stock may continue to plummet. However, considering Mixon's injury history, Perine or Evans may gain late-round fantasy value as an insurance policy, so fantasy managers will surely want to monitor the backup battle throughout training camp.

As long as Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon stays healthy, Samaje Perine will have nothing more than a complementary role in Cincy's backfield. Mixon struggled in pass protection in 2021, however, which caused the Bengals to rely heavily on Perine on third downs down the stretch, and he averaged 9.2 third-down snaps per game. It helped the 26-year-old Perine rack up a career-high 27 receptions on 31 targets for 196 yards and one touchdown in 16 regular season games. Even with Perine's...
