Samaje Perine Week 3 Outlook - Chiefs at Falcons

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

If you picked up Perine off of waivers, hold him on your roster, but don't start him this week. Perine has played 14-15% of snaps this season, with his only contributions coming from the passing game (1.5 targets per game and 6.5 receiving yards per game). He didn't play any early down snaps last week. He did have 80% of the third down snaps and 33% of the two-minute drill work. His role has to expand before he's a possibility for fantasy lineups. The Falcons have allowed the fifth-fewest receptions and the ninth-fewest receiving yards to backs this season.
