Samaje Perine | Fantasy Outlook

Experienced Backup Role in Cincinnati Offers Late-Round Handcuff Value

Samaje Perine returns to Cincinnati, slotted as the primary backup behind Chase Brown in the Bengals' backfield. Entering his 10th season, the 30-year-old veteran offers a reliable floor as a pass protector and occasional change-of-pace runner.

Our models project Perine for 83 rushing attempts, 366 rushing yards, and 3 touchdowns, alongside 19 receptions for 132 yards and an additional score. This projected workload yields 87.5 fantasy points, making him a steady, albeit low-ceiling, depth piece.

In PPR drafts, Perine's stock has surged, with his ADP climbing from the 420s in early June to 349 today. Our analysis suggests this rising cost is justified, making him a highly affordable insurance policy rather than an over-hyped reach for managers seeking late-round bench depth.
