| Mark Ringo Sleepers and Busts | While Javonte Williams is getting most of the press and has a higher ADP, it's Samaje Perine that could be the most valuable Broncos RB for fantasy owners in 2023. When healthy, Williams is one of the best RBs in the NFL. However, he suffered a major knee injury last year. It's very difficult to return to form the following season- see J.K. Dobbins and Odell Beckham last year. In addition, even if Williams makes it back sometime this season, the Broncos would be insane to give him a full workload after the devastating injury he's returning from. The best way to play this situation, in my opinion, is to pass on Javonte with a current ADP of RB 28 and draft Perine instead. Perine is also dirt cheap with a current RB ADP of RB 41. He seems like Williams' top backup over Tony Jones. When Joe Mixon was hurt, Perine delivered for the Bengals and put up great numbers. He has a good chance of at least splitting the carries and is the only one with a realistic shot at a bell cow role. Offensive guru Sean Payton taking over as head coach can only help Denver's offense which struggled mightily last year. Side note #1 - Perine holds the most rushing yards in a college FBS game- 427 yards vs Kansas. Side note #2- The Kentucky Derby winner was Mage. That's only a few letters off. Is that a sign or what? I mean where else do you get fantasy football analysis like this? Haha! If this call hits just call me Samaje Ringo haha! Sleeper | |
| Wolf of Roto Street Roto Street Journal | 5/5: Remains the clear No.2 behind Javonte, which could be invaluable to open 2022 if Willaims misses time -- Samaje was a Top-5 RB in 2 of his 3 starts last year & Top-10 in all-three. This Sean Payton scheme is a RB goldmine, even moreso when one RB is out... so Samaje is among the top handcuff-with-benefits in the game. He'll hold some receiving value even when Javonte's back. 3/17: Very interesting landing spot with Broncos. If Javonte recovery slowly, Perine will be in the ultimate goldmine system (Sean Payton), behind a vastly improved offensive line, where his 3-down skills would be maximized. He performs well with volume, and could find tons of it early -- see Latavius Murray | |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Denver signed ex-Bengals running back Samaje Perine - 2 years, $7.5 million, $3 million guaranteed - after releasing Chase Edmonds (Buccaneers) and moving on from Mike Boone (Texans). With Javonte Williams potentially delayed in return from his knee injury, I'd suspect that Perine (RB 46 ADP) picks up the slack to open the year if he stays in the Mile High City. The Broncos have zero other RBs of note currently under contract. Therefore, Perine has the chance to provide immediate fantasy value to start the year after carving out a role in the Bengals' offense alongside Joe Mixon last season. He served as the primary third-down back for the entire season. And when Perine got the starting nod from Weeks 11-13, the 27-year-old went OFF averaging 23.6 fantasy points per game. Perine is a legitimate threat to Williams' workload as he could easily earn the passing-down work after finishing last season 6th in PFF pass-blocking and 14th in RB targets. | Zach Charbonnet started his college career at Michigan in 2019, where he started ahead of the future NFL draft selection, Hassan Haskins. But in 2020, Charbonnet's numbers regressed in a six-game season for Michigan due to COVID-19. He split time with Haskins again, while also losing out to work to another NFL-drafted Chris Evans and up-and-coming running back star, Blake Corum. Charbonnet was part of a major running back by the committee as a Wolverine so he transferred to UCLA in 2021 and immediately saw his production skyrocket. He would post a 25% dominator rating as a junior, finishing third among all RBs in PFF rushing grade. Charbonnet's 2022 senior production was also elite, as he finished 4th in PFF rushing grade among all RBs topping his grade from the year before. But more importantly, for fantasy purposes, the 6-foot, 214-pound running back improved on his receiving game, catching 37 balls for 320 yards on 44 targets. He posted the 5th-highest PFF receiving grade and tied for first in receptions per game (3.7) among his draft class. The former UCLA running back also finished with the highest positive run rate (57%) and lowest bust rate (4%) among drafted running backs. The Seattle Seahawks selected Charbonnet in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft (52nd overall) pairing him with last year's second-round pick, Kenneth Walker III. Charbonnet can't deliver the home run rushes like Walker, but he can be trusted to hit doubles as a rusher and receiver consistently. Charbonnet's 3-down skill set combined with his draft capital suggests he will be used by the Seahawks plenty as a rookie, and he could end up being the better fantasy asset compared to Walker. Keep in mind that head coach Pete Carroll is never afraid to shake things up when it comes to his backfield. The team drafted Rashaad Penny in the 1st round of the 2018 NFL Draft. But former 7th-round draft pick Chris Carson was the team's leading rusher in 2018, 2019 and 2020. One of Charbonnet's closest comparisons based on his size and weight is Carson. |
