Samaje Perine News
Friday, October 2, 12:24 PM
Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at home in Week 4. After getting eight touches on offense in the season opener, Perine has yet to touch the ball more than four times in any game. The veteran back put up just 14 total yards on four touches in last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking his worst fantasy performance of the year. Perine will look to bounce back in a high-scoring game against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. The Jaguars defense could be a difficult matchup for Perine given their strong play so far this season and his limited role in the offense. Perine will not have a lot of chances to make an impact in this week's contest and the Jaguars may be able to stifle any opportunities he does get. Perine is ranked RB55 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a very low-end option at running back this week. Fantasy managers should view Perine as more of a handcuff/stash candidate rather than a start-worthy back.

Jordan Mason News
Saturday, October 3, 5:42 PM
Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason (hand) hasn't played since the season opener due to a fracture in his thumb. Mason underwent surgery and was placed on the Injured Reserve following their Week 1 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Getting placed on the IR means that Mason is forced to miss at least four games. The Week 4 matchup versus the Miami Dolphins will be his third absence in a row. Mason could be back in the mix as early as the Week 7 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. He'll likely see significant involvement in the backfield once he's healthy enough to play again. Given he could be only a few weeks away from playing again, Mason is worth stashing on an IR spot in most leagues where he's available.
