Samaje Perine Out-Carried By Jaleel McLaughlin

Sunday, September 24, 8:44 PM

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine's fantasy value has taken a nosedive in the last two weeks. The Broncos running game never really had a chance in the 70-20 shellacking at the hands of the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 3, but Perine was out-carried by rookie Jaleel McLaughlin. McLaughlin saw five carries for 15 yards, while Perine ran the ball only three times for nine yards. Perine also caught two of his three targets for an additional 15 yards. The 28-year-old looked pretty explosive in the season opener, but he's now had just four carries in the last two weeks. The Broncos backfield just hasn't been able to get going so far this year, and Javonte Williams should continue to be the clear lead back as the season progresses. A Week 4 meeting with the Chicago Bears is intriguing, but both Perine and McLaughlin cannot be counted on in starting fantasy lineups.

Drake London Quiet In Loss

Sunday, September 24, 9:06 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has seen an increase in usage after being held without a catch during the season opener. Since then, London has seen 17 targets over the last two games. On Sunday, London hauled in two of his six targets for 31 yards in the loss to the Detroit Lions. This is a frustrating situation because London does have the skills and potential to be a reliable weekly contributor. Sadly, quarterback Desmond Ridder continues to battle with accuracy issues. That means, London will be a shaky WR3 for the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
