Samaje Perine News
Friday, September 25, 12:25 PM
Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 3. The veteran back's opportunities dropped from eight in Week 1 to just three last week, but he's been efficient with those touches. Despite only getting one target in last week's win over the Houston Texans, Perine ranked third on the team in receiving yards. Perine has been especially effective in the passing game, turning four catches into 46 yards this season. While his upside is capped in the RB2 role, it is encouraging to see him produce when given the chance. He could have more chances to produce this week against a Steelers offense that has given up the sixth-most rushing yards this season. Perine is ranked RB61 in our RotoBaller Week 3 PPR rankings, meaning that he's best viewed as a bench stash rather than a start-worthy option. Fantasy managers should hold onto Perine because his value would skyrocket should anything happen to Bengals RB1 Chase Brown.

Jaylen Wright News
Sunday, September 27, 8:14 AM
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (stinger, foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to the team. Wright was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out Friday and entered the weekend listed as doubtful. He has only three carries for 10 yards through two games, but he has been much more involved on special teams, returning five kickoffs for 185 yards with a long of 79. Miami's depth chart lists De'Von Achane first, Wright second and Ollie Gordon II third, so Gordon moves up behind Achane with Wright unavailable. Gordon, now in his second NFL season, has three carries for seven yards through two games, all of them coming last week against San Francisco. Wright's absence gives Gordon a clearer path to complementary touches behind Achane while also taking one of Miami's most productive kick returners out of the lineup.
