Samaje Perine Week 8 Outlook - Titans at Bengals

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 29th 2026, 1:35pm EDT

Samaje Perine is a viable flex this week. Over the last two games, Perine has split the red zone work evenly with Chase Brown (two rushing attempts each) while averaging ten touches and 47 total yards. Perine has mustered a decent 10.3% explosive run rate and 2.29 yards after contact per attempt this season. Tennessee has fielded a putrid run defense recently. Across their last five games, Tennessee has allowed the fourth-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-highest rushing success rate, and the seventh-highest yards before contact per attempt. If Perine scores a touchdown with 10-12 touches this week, he could easily be a nice flex play.
