Samaje Perine News
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.

Javonte Williams News
Saturday, November 14, 6:48 AM
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams caught four of five targets for 23 yards at Indianapolis, where he also ran for 101 yards on 20 carries. His work as a receiver matters against a San Francisco team allowing 3.3 yards per carry. The 49ers gave up just 24 rushing yards to Las Vegas in Week 9. Ashton Jeanty caught five passes against them, although he lost five yards on those catches. Williams stays in the RB1 tier in PPR and comes in at RB7 in RotoBaller's weekend rankings. Tyler Goodson (ankle, knee), who had 12 carries at Indianapolis, missed practice all week, including Friday, and is out. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer pointed to fullback Hunter Luepke as part of the backup plan, and Dallas has identified practice-squad back Israel Abanikanda as another option. Williams leads Dallas backs with 24 receptions and has scored nine rushing touchdowns in nine games. Last week's winner came from the one-yard line, the kind of opportunity that can make up for a dip in rushing yardage against San Francisco.
