Samaje Perine's Fantasy Upside Remains Limited Across All Formats

Saturday, February 21, 10:39 AM

Across 15 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine recorded 469 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 101 touches. The veteran back has established himself as a quality pass-blocker and capable RB2 over the course of his nine-year NFL career. That's the role Perine played alongside Bengals RB1 Chase Brown in 2025, and with both backs under contract for 2026, Cincinnati appears likely to run it back next season. Without an injury to Brown, Perine carries limited fantasy upside. Even if Brown were to miss time, it's possible the Bengals would look to bring in a more dynamic rusher and keep Perine in a secondary role. While Perine has recorded at least 400 scrimmage yards in five straight seasons, he hasn't topped the 700-yard mark since his rookie year in 2017 and has logged just 19 touchdowns in 125 career NFL games. Perine's fantasy ceiling is uninspiring as he hits the late stages of his career.

Justice Hill News

Justice Hill a Drop Candidate in Dynasty Formats

Thursday, June 18, 5:38 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill could have an uphill battle ahead of him to keep the No. 2 role in the backfield. Hill only played in 10 games this past season due to injuries. When healthy, Hill finished with 93 rushing yards while hauling in 21 receptions for 169 yards through the air in 2025. Hill could have a tough time securing the backup gig after a lackluster campaign last season. The Ravens selected Adam Randall in the fifth-round during this year's draft. He could quickly surpass Hill on the depth chart, assuming he looks good during training camp. There's not a ton of carries available when Derrick Henry is healthy, but the Ravens are likely looking towards the future at this point. It wouldn't be shocking to see them give more carries to Randall over Hill, who is 28 years old.
