Samaje Perine May Be An Afterthought Against Pittsburgh

Friday, November 13, 1:01 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. Perine handled 11 carries for 43 yards in last week's 34-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Perine actually had more carries than Chase Brown last week, but averaged fewer yards per carry with his opportunities. Perine was also not targeted in the passing game in Week 9. With the Bengals taking on a tough Steelers defense, Perine's involvement in the offense could be diminished this week. The Pittsburgh defense is especially strong against running backs, so the Bengals could opt to be even more pass-heavy this week and funnel their offense through the wide receivers and Chase Brown, who is the pass-catching threat out of the backfield. Perine is ranked RB42 in our RotoBaller Week 10 rankings, making him a deeper league flex option this week.

Boston Scott News

Commanders Work Out James Robinson And Boston Scott

Tuesday, November 26, 6:08 PM

The Washington Commanders have brought in free agent running backs James Robinson and Boston Scott for workouts. The Commanders are thin at running back with Austin Ekeler (concussion) and Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) both exiting the team's Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys with injuries. Robinson and Scott have both enjoyed success in the past. Robinson most recently played in one game for the Green Bay Packers in 2023 while providing depth on their practice squad. He is known for rushing for 1,070 yards and seven touchdowns as an undrafted rookie running back in 2020. Scott spent the first six years of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles. He spent time on the practice squads of both the Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. Both players are quality backs that would provide a steady veteran presence in the locker room. Neither would move the needle much in fantasy. Instead, fantasy managers should turn to Jeremy McNichols as insurance in the Commanders' backfield.
