Samaje Perine
RB - Cincinnati Bengals
This Week Outlook
Availability
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.
Samaje Perine ran for five yards and a touchdown on three carries in the Bengals 37-14 win over the Cardinals. He also caught his lone target for eight yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Perine scored at the goal line in the blowout win for the Bengals. Chase Brown continues to dominate the touches in the backfield.
Samaje Perine rushed the ball seven times for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Miami Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran was able to take advantage of a great matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday. He totaled 41 yards on the day and was able to get into the end zone at one point, which left him with a solid fantasy total for the few teams that needed to start him. Chase Brown will continue to serve as the RB1 over the last couple games of the season, however.
Samaje Perine rushed for 42 yards on 14 carries in the Bengals 24-0 loss to the Ravens. He caught his lone target for one yard.
Fantasy Impact
Perine did exit the game early in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status ahead of a Week 16 matchup with Miami.
Samaje Perine ran for 31 yards on six carries in the Bengals 39-34 loss against the Bills. He also caught his lone target for seven yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Perine continues to see snaps as a change-of-pace back behind Chase Brown. He remains off the fantasy radar.
