Fantasy Impact:

"Perine’s definitely going to get a bigger role. Frank (Gore), you’re not going to lean on him as heavy a load. … Getting Perine really involved is going to be critical for us," Gase said. Perine has been quiet this year, though he's been buried on the depth chart in a dysfunctional offense. There likely isn't season-altering upside here, but Perine is worth an add in most leagues to see how the usage of this backfield plays out.
