Availability
Samaje Perine ran for six yards on two carries in the Bengals 20-6 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also caught his lone target for 16 yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Perine remains a pure stash behind Chase Brown.
Samaje Perine (illness) was on the sideline at the start of Friday's practice session.
Fantasy Impact
Perine has missed Thursday's practice as well due to an illness. The veteran back was a significant part of the Bengals' offense in Week 1, rushing for 20 yards on five carries and grabbing three passes for 30 yards. Perine still has a couple of days to get ready for Sunday's matchup with the Texans.
Samaje Perine (illness) did not take part in Cincinnati's practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran running back is a new addition to the injury report, being listed with an illness that left him sidelined at practice on Thursday. He's likely considered day-to-day for the time being, but in the off-chance that he doesn't play this week, Tahj Brooks would have to step up and play the RB2 role behind Chase Brown against a tough Houston defense on Sunday.
Samaje Perine ran for 20 yards on five carries in the Bengals 33-27 win over the Buccaneers. He also caught 3-of-3 targets for 30 yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Perine was out-touched 21-8 by Chase Brown. He remains off the fantasy radar as long as Brown is healthy.
Samaje Perine ran 8 times for 42 yards and caught three of four targets for 10 yards in the Bengals' 20-18 loss to the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
Perine was a surprising name down the stretch that had flex appeal thanks to his rushing work, scoring three touchdowns in the final stretch of the season, as well as mixing into the passing game at times. He could retain some handcuff value in 2026 even as he enters his age 31 season.
