Samaje Perine - Week 18 Outlook for Fantasy Football
3 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine is likely to be the team's RB1 for Sunday's regular-season finale vs. the Browns. Perine's DFS prospects went sky-high when Joe Mixon (Reserve/COVID-19) was announced out, but they may have climbed even higher with the confirmation that Joe Burrow (knee, rest) would not be traveling for the team's Week 18 matchup. Perine has logged double-digit carries in an outing just twice this season, serving as Mixon's primary backup en route to accumulating 246 yards and one score on the ground. Chris Evans and Trayveon Williams are also likely to factor into the team's offensive gameplan as it attempts to gear up for the opening round of the playoffs. For those managers playing in season-long finals, Perine is a solid RB2 and strong FLEX option in the vast majority of formats.
