Samaje Perine Missing Second Straight Game in Week 12

Sunday, November 23, 11:51 AM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine (ankle), who was listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, is officially out in Week 12 versus the visiting New England Patriots. Perine will be missing a second straight game. The 30-year-old veteran's absence will mean more change-of-pace work for rookie Tahj Brooks behind starter Chase Brown, but it won't be enough to make Brooks a standalone option in fantasy lineups this weekend in a tough matchup. It's unclear if Perine will be ready to return on a quick turnaround next week when the team squares off against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday. Perine hasn't been anything more than a deep-league PPR handcuff for those who have Brown rostered. In nine games in 2025, he has 198 rushing yards and one touchdown on 32 carries, adding seven receptions for another 30 yards.
