Samaje Perine Scores Three Receiving Touchdowns In Win
2 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine rushed 11 times for 30 yards and caught four passes for 52 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Heading into this game, Perine didn't have a big workload in any game prior to this game, but because Joe Mixon entered concussion protocol and was ruled out, he became the featured back. It's too early to know if Mixon will clear protocol in time to play against the Tennessee Titans next week, but Perine is worth picking up on waivers just in case Mixon is out. However, the Titans boast one of the toughest defenses against fantasy running backs, so his upside would be limited.
