Samaje Perine vs. Titans — Touchdown-Dependent Role in Favorable Matchup Script
Perine continues to operate as the clear complementary back behind starter Chase Brown in Cincinnati's backfield rotation. While he saw an unexpected spike to 14 carries back in Week 5, his workload normalized in Week 7 with four rush attempts for 16 yards, though he salvaged the outing with a short touchdown plunge.
The Bengals enter as heavy double-digit home favorites against a 1-6 Tennessee squad, offering positive game script that could yield late clock-killing work. Still, our models project him for around 5–6 carries, 23 rushing yards, and roughly one reception (6.4 fantasy points), keeping him primarily as a touchdown-dependent bench option in standard leagues.

Outlook Michael Mayer
Michael Mayer at New York Jets — Expanded Passing Role Creates Viable Streaming Value
Operating alongside Brock Bowers in the Raiders' heavy two-tight end sets, Mayer has carved out steady standalone involvement. Coming off a recent career-best 95-yard receiving performance, he has secured 10 of 12 targets over his past two games, prompting his roster rate to push near 38%.
Facing the Jets in a road matchup with a 45.5 projected total, our projections expect roughly 3.3 catches and 29 receiving yards (7.0 fantasy points). While sharing tight end duties inherently keeps his weekly floor modest, his surging target share makes him a solid streaming option for managers navigating tight end shortages.
