Samaje Perine Rushes for Nearly 100 Yards

Monday, October 27, 9:47 PM

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine posted his best game of the season during Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Perine rushed nine time for 94 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The 30-year-old remains the backup in Cincinnati, but has seen more work lately. In fact, Perine has seen his carries increase every game since Week 5. Chase Brown remains the starter, but Perine could be forcing more of a split backfield if he continues playing like this. Perine could be worth a stash for fantasy managers in need of running back depth.

Trevor Etienne Slides Back to RB3 Role with Hubbard's Return

Wednesday, October 22, 12:52 AM

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Trevor Etienne played only four snaps in Week 7's 13-6 win against the Jets. Etienne played 8, 14, and 11 offensive snaps in his last three games, totaling 14 carries for 72 yards and one reception for seven yards. With Chuba Hubbard returning from a calf injury on Sunday, the fourth-round rookie assumed the RB3 role and also contributed on special teams, including a 45-yard kick return and three punt returns for 35 yards. He's a solid stash in dynasty leagues but isn't rosterable in redraft formats.
