Samaje Perine Averages Over Five Yards Per Carry

one year ago

In running back Samaje Perine's debut with the Denver Broncos in Week 1 of the regular season on Sunday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, he was extremely efficient on the ground in a 17-16 loss. Perine had eight carries for 41 yards (5.1 yards per tote) while catching all four of his targets for a team-high 37 receiving yards. The 27-year-old had five fewer carries than teammate Javonte Williams, but if he can continue to stay involved in the passing attack, he should have standalone fantasy value as a flex consideration as the Broncos ease Williams back from a torn ACL and LCL that he suffered in Week 4 in 2022. Note: Top wideout Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) was inactive on Sunday and tight end Greg Dulcich injured his leg and didn't return.
