Samaje Perine News
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.

Ray Davis News
Saturday, June 13, 12:12 PM
Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis flashed upside as a rookie in 2024, finishing the year with 631 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 130 touches. However, Davis' production fell across the board in his second season in 2025, as he logged just 361 scrimmage yards and two scores on 68 touches. Buffalo chose to feature star running back James Cook III more heavily in 2025, and Davis also fell behind Ty Johnson on the Bills' running back depth chart. With former Bills play-caller Joe Brady being promoted to head coach, Cook III's usage seems unlikely to change in 2026. Because Johnson profiles as more of a receiving threat, Davis may be more likely than Johnson to take over the RB1 role if Cook III were to suffer an injury. Still, Davis and Johnson would likely split snaps to some degree in that scenario. Cook III has also been exceptionally durable in his career, missing just two games across his first four NFL seasons. Davis is worth stashing in deeper dynasty formats, but his handcuff upside may not be high enough to make him roster-worthy in shallower leagues.
