Samaje Perine | Fantasy Outlook

Cincy's Primary Handcuff Offers Late-Round Bench Depth

Samaje Perine returns to Cincinnati, slotted as the primary backup to Chase Brown in the Bengals' backfield. While Brown handles the lead duties, the 10-year veteran remains a highly trusted component of the offense. Our projections slate Perine for 76 carries and 16 receptions, establishing him as a high-value handcuff rather than a standalone weekly option.

Looking at his draft trajectory in 1.0 PPR formats, Perine's stock is currently flatlining with an ADP in the 420s, down slightly from the high 300s last month. At this virtually free price, he represents an exceptional value steal for fantasy managers seeking a cheap bench option with immense contingent upside if Brown misses time.

With an overall projected total of 75.4 fantasy points, Perine remains a bench stash with minimal starting expectations early on, reflected in his low 11% rostership. However, his history of efficiency inside this offense makes him an essential target for those looking to secure the Cincinnati backfield.
