Fantasy outlook
Perine is expected to resume his role as Chase Brown's primary backup in Cincinnati. The veteran back played 31% of the Bengals' snaps last season, totaling 84 carries and 21 targets. He cleared 400 total yards for the fifth consecutive season, though he has yet to reach 200 touches in a single season in his career, nor has he produced a top-30 fantasy campaign. The 30-year-old has reached double-digit fantasy points three times over the last two seasons and would require a Brown injury in order to flirt with flex appeal. He can be left on waivers.
