Samaje Perine
RB - Kansas City Chiefs
Availability
Samaje Perine rushed the ball one time for ten yards and caught four passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 30-24 OT win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
Perine has lost almost all rushing work to Kareem Hunt, but he is still somewhat involved as a pass catcher. He caught four passes on Monday night and was able to take one to the house, which helped secure Kansas City's win over the Buccaneers. He remains off of the fantasy radar for the foreseeable future.
Samaje Perine caught both of his targets for 30 yards in a 27-20 win over the Raiders in Week 8.
Fantasy Impact
Perine did not receive a carry in the close win as the Chiefs leaned on Kareem Hunt on the ground. Perine has logged at least 22 receiving yards in three straight games but he's not getting enough work to trust in fantasy. He will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 9's Monday night game against Tampa Bay.
Samaje Perine ran for six yards on two carries in the Chiefs 28-18 win over the 49ers. He also caught his lone target for 22 yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Perine is off the fantasy radar in his current role with Kareem Hunt being the workhorse in the Chiefs backfield.
Samaje Perine didn't record a rush and caught one pass for 24 yards in Monday's 26-13 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Perine was almost a non-factor for the Chiefs on Monday night. He didn't get even a single rushing attempt on the night, and the only reception he had went for a solid 24 yard gain. Kareem Hunt is the clear leader in Kansas City's backfield right now, and things only project to get worse for Perine with Clyde Edwards-Helaire presumably making his return in the near future.
Samaje Perine carried the ball five times for 14 yards and a touchdown in a 17-10 win over the Chargers in Week 4.
Fantasy Impact
Perine found the end zone on a two-yard run in the fourth quarter to give the Chiefs the game-winning score. That being said, the Chiefs gave Kareem Hunt 14 carries in the win, further clouding the Kansas City backfield picture. Perine will be a low-end flex in fantasy heading into Week 5's Monday night game against the Saints.
