Outlook Samaje Perine
Samaje Perine at Baltimore — Limited touches keep veteran relegated to the bench
Operating as the primary backup behind Chase Brown, Perine primarily handles change-of-pace and passing-down duties for Cincinnati. While he recently showcased his utility with a receiving score against Miami, his week-to-week rushing involvement remains generally capped in standard game flow.
In an expected high-scoring road matchup against the Ravens, our projections expect Perine to log around 5 carries for 20 rushing yards while securing 1 to 2 catches for roughly 10 receiving yards (5.9 fantasy points). Rostered in 21% of leagues but started in just 4%, he is purely a handcuff stash who needs a touchdown to offer standalone value.

Outlook Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst at Carolina — Expanded Opportunity in Division Matchup
Ted Hurst is positioned for an elevated workload this week as starting wideout Emeka Egbuka has been ruled out with a concussion and foot injury. Operating on the perimeter alongside Chris Godwin, Hurst already showed promise last time out by commanding six targets for three receptions and 40 receiving yards.
Our projections forecast Hurst for roughly five targets, 2.7 receptions, and 38 receiving yards, yielding 8.1 fantasy points. With roster rates hovering around 4%, the rookie is not a recommended play in standard leagues, but his growing involvement makes him an appealing deep-league flex option against Carolina.
