Outlook Samaje Perine
Samaje Perine at Pittsburgh — Change-of-Pace Role Leaves Little Standalone Appeal
Perine enters Week 3 operating as the clear backup in Cincinnati's backfield behind Chase Brown. Through the first two contests of the season, the veteran has logged just seven carries and four receptions, functioning primarily as a complementary third-down option for Joe Burrow. While he remains fully healthy for an undefeated Bengals squad, his limited touch share leaves him with minimal standalone opportunities.
Our weekly projection forecasts Perine for roughly four carries and one to two targets, resulting in around 27 total yards and 4.7 fantasy points against Pittsburgh. With fantasy managers starting him in less than one percent of leagues, he cannot be trusted in active lineups. Keep him on the bench across standard formats, viewing him strictly as a contingent insurance stash.

Outlook Marvin Harrison
Marvin Harrison at SF — Looking to Rebound in Tough Divisional Road Matchup
Through two games, Harrison has endured a cold stretch with just one reception on four targets for 33 yards, including being shut out in Week 2. While head coach Mike LaFleur defended Harrison's effort and emphasized that the offense also prioritizes tight end Trey McBride, Harrison continues to operate as a starting outside receiver opposite Michael Wilson.
Fantasy managers have responded by benching him en masse, dropping his start rate to just 8% despite an 87% rostered mark. Facing San Francisco as road underdogs could bring negative game script and passing volume, but our models project just 2.9 receptions for 41.2 yards. Harrison is best left on fantasy benches until his target share rebounds.
