Samaje Perine Gaining Waiver Wire Appeal Amid Growing Role in Cincinnati

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.

Rachaad White A Low-End RB2 in Week 10 Against Giants

Wednesday, November 11, 1:26 PM

Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White had a quiet outing in Week 9's loss to the Rams, handling seven carries for 28 yards and adding two catches (three targets) for 41 yards. White was surprisingly outtouched by Austin Ekeler 10 to nine in this game, though Ekeler was much less productive with only 34 yards to White's 69. Washington's rushing attack is rated near the bottom of the league by most numbers this season, with a struggling offensive line that ranks 32nd in ESPN's run block win rate metric. White hasn't exceeded 11 carries in a game this season and should handle 10-12 touches overall on Thursday against the division-leading Giants. It could be another down game for White as the Giants defense has been stingy of late, ranking fourth in rushing success rate (38.2%) and allowing the sixth-fewest PPR points per game to running backs over the last four weeks. White ranks as RotoBaller's RB21 in PPR leagues for Week 10.
