Samaje Perine To Lead Backfield In Season Finale

Saturday, January 4, 10:59 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Samaje Perine will face the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 18. With Isiah Pacheco marked as out and Kareem Hunt listed as doubtful for this week's contest, Perine should handle the majority of touches out of the backfield. The 29-year-old receiving back will face the Broncos, who rank 15th in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season. Despite shouldering the load, Perine's ceiling will be lower with Carson Wentz under center this week. Perine is ranked RB44 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option this week. There is a possibility that Perine is fantasy-relevant through sheer volume on the ground and through the air, but scoring opportunities could be at a premium in this contest. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere.

Devin Singletary Doesn't Do Much In Loss To Philadelphia

Sunday, January 5, 7:29 PM

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had 22 yards off seven attempts in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added one catch for negative yardage. Singletary, who signed a three-year deal with the G-Men in March 2024, had a good start to the season, finding the end zone twice in New York's first three games. However, he eventually lost the starting job to rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr. and has remained the backup ever since. With Tracy likely to remain the No. 1 option on the depth chart entering the 2025-26 campaign, Singletary will presumably continue to operate behind him. As a result, his fantasy value doesn't look promising heading into next season, although he'll likely draw interest for those looking for an insurance policy.
