Expert Note
View More Notes

The Bengals seem committed to using both Chase Brown and Samaje Perine. Brown is the clear lead back and outsnapped Perine 47-34 on Sunday against the Ravens. Despite the difference in snaps, Perine had one more carry than Brown, finishing with 14 carries for 42 yards and one reception for one yard. What is often believed to be a powerful offense was stifled by the Ravens in a 24-0 loss. However, the Bengals play the Dolphins and Cardinals over the next two weeks, which are great matchups. It may be tough to play Perine in most leagues, but if you are desperate in a deep league, he could give you some production.

Samaje Perine scores once in blowout win Sunday

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.
