Samaje Perine News
Monday, November 9, 11:10 AM
Across eight games in 2026, Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine has recorded 249 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 54 touches. The 31-year-old has spent most of the season to this point in a reserve role behind Bengals RB1 Chase Brown. However, Brown has struggled so far in 2026, recording career lows in both yards per carry (3.9) and yards per touch (4.3). In Cincinnati's Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons, the team split touches evenly between Perine (11) and Brown (12). If that trend continues, Perine could move into flex territory for fantasy managers as a consistent piece in one of the NFL's most potent offenses. In deeper leagues, Perine could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into Week 10.

Josh Jacobs News
Monday, November 9, 11:27 AM
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur did not rule out the possibility of the team placing running back Josh Jacobs (finger) on Injured Reserve when asked on Monday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs suffered a finger injury during Green Bay's Week 9 win over the New England Patriots that will require surgery and could lead to him being sidelined for an extended stretch. The 28-year-old missed the first six weeks of the 2026 season while on the NFL's Commissioner's Exempt List, but he's functioned as Green Bay's workhorse back since returning in Week 7. After Jacobs got hurt against New England, Packers back Kaleb Johnson took over and recorded 14 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown. With Jacobs sidelined, Johnson could be a top waiver wire target for fantasy managers heading into Green Bay's Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
