Samaje Perine could open 2017 as Rob Kelley's handcuff

Washington Redskins beat writer John Keim believes rookie Samaje Perine is an "instant challenger" to Robert Kelley's starting running back job. (ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
Perine's addition to the Redskins' backfield likely spells the end for Matt Jones in Washington. If and likely when Washington moves on from Jones, Perine will move up to the No. 2 spot on the RB depth chart behind Kelley, with Chris Thompson steadfast as the team's change of pace back/ primary receiver out of the backfield. Perine should be on the early fantasy radar as Kelley's handcuff, especially if Jones is ultimately let go.
