Samaje Perine Doesn't Offer Much Waiver Wire Appeal

Tuesday, November 3, 5:39 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine has not seen a lot of opportunities as of late. In a 43-36 overtime win against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, Perine played just 26 offensive snaps compared to 51 snaps for starting tailback Chase Brown. Perine carried the ball just four times for 10 yards (2.5 yards per carry) and made one reception for nine yards. Brown dominated touches with 12 rushes for 55 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and eight catches for 46 yards (5.8 yards per reception). After having a breakout game in a Week 5 win over the Miami Dolphins with 78 total yards and a receiving touchdown, Perine has recorded just eight rushes for 26 yards and a touchdown and the lone reception for nine yards over the past two games. He played just 38 combined snaps between those two contests. Perine offers little fantasy value outside of being Brown's handcuff, and there are higher-priority waiver wire targets out there at running back.

Ray Davis News

Ray Davis Active for Week 4 Against New England

Sunday, October 4, 7:48 AM

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. For now, this news likely has more special teams implications than anything else, as Davis has totaled three kick returns and one offensive touch this season. He operated on a measly 8% snap share last week, putting him behind both James Cook III and Ty Johnson in the pecking order. As long as Cook and Johnson are healthy, there's no reason that he should be rostered in redraft leagues. He's also getting closer to being a cut candidate in dynasty formats.
