Why is it trending?· Last 7 days
Samaje Perine drew attention after Cincinnati used him nearly as much as Chase Brown against Miami, with 14 carries to Brown’s 13 and a receiving touchdown.[1][2]
On The Athletic Football Show, Robert Mays and Derrik Klassen argued Samaje Perine looked more effective, especially in the passing game, while successful runs came with him carrying the ball.[3][4]
Fantasy analysts treated Samaje Perine as a waiver-wire stash because Cincinnati is on bye and his role could remain significant, including a possible 50-50 split with Chase Brown.[5][6][7]
Fantasy Focus Sunday Kickoff said Samaje Perine’s goal-line carry and Chase Brown’s poor rushing efficiency create a problem, though the show noted Cincinnati’s schedule eases after the bye.[8]
The shows disagree about how lasting the change is: Matt Berry called Samaje Perine a useful third-down and pass-protection back rather than a special player, while JJ Zachariason said the fumble clearly affected Brown’s usage but questioned the team’s explanation.[9][10]
