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.

Dontayvion Wicks at Washington — Ankle Injury and Quarterback Change Cloud Value
Wicks remains questionable for Sunday night's divisional matchup against Washington after missing practice sessions late last week with an ankle injury. Although he is listed as a starting outside receiver, Philadelphia's passing attack faces major instability with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined on injured reserve, leaving backup Tanner McKee to run the offense.
Between the ankle concern, low-scoring projected game total, and Philadelphia's five-game losing streak, fantasy managers have largely moved away from Wicks, pushing his start rate down to 1%. Our projections anticipate around 2.2 receptions for 27 yards (5.7 fantasy points) if active. He is best left on fantasy benches this week; check back prior to kickoff for his official game-day status.
