Zac Taylor and OC Brian Callahan repeatedly brought up Trayveon Williams when asked about Samaje Perine's replacement

Lines like "The more investment we've given him with playing time, the more he's paid off"

With the legal issues still hanging over Joe Nixon's head, this is incredibly important from a fantasy perspective. Perine had a large roll in the offense that increased even further in the NFL Playoffs. Williams is being drafted a huge 50 picks after Chase Brown in current Underdog drafts, and 16 picks after Chris Evans.

Even if wele don't boost Williams way up the rankings, we should be keeping our eye on this situation.

Buccaneers are signing former Broncos’ running back Chase Edmonds to a one-year deal.

Edmonds will more than likely split snaps with Ke'Shawn Vaughn and possibly even another late-round running back in Tampa Bay.

Joe Mixon's role was slightly reduced in his return from a two-game absence.

Mixon registered a season-low snap share (58%) outside of Week 11 when he suffered a concussion. McFarland went on to tweet, "it could be nothing, but there is a chance Perine earned a few extra opportunities." The Bengals could have just been easing Mixon back into form, but the more likely reason seems to be Perine was pretty good when he took over for Mixon as the lead back and the Bengals want to get him more involved.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) and WR Tee Higgins (hamstring) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday against the Browns. TE Hayden Hurst (calf) is out.

The RB1 Samaje Perine weeks are over for now, but Cincinnati is faced with a fantastic matchup against Cleveland this week. Both he and Mixon are fantasy viable in Week 14.

Joe Mixon went full today, which means he's out of concussion protocol.

Beat reporter Paul Dehner Jr. tweeted that while HC Zac Taylor said many great things about what Perine has done, especially when Mixon was out, he also added "Mixon is our starting running back, he had five touchdowns the last time he played.” Owners should be able to conclude that Mixon will have his normal workload for Week 14, but it's easy to imagine Perine getting a few more touches, perhaps especially in the passing game. Overall, it looks like Mixon is going to be the better fantasy play here.

Head coach Zac Taylor says Joe Mixon is still in protocol and a decision is pending. If he’s cleared he should be good to go. He has worked in a limited fashion.

It looks like this could be turning into a frustrating decision for fantasy purposes, but obviously, the team isn't looking to rush Mixon back onto the field. If he were to miss Week 13's incredible offensive battle with the Chiefs, Samaje Perine would be a locked-in RB2. Hopefully, we will have more clarity by 1:00 on Sunday.

Zac Taylor said Joe Mixon (concussion protocol) will be at practice today. Good sign for Mixon.

Mixon looks to be back on track to play in Week 13. The Bengals play a later Sunday game at home against the Chiefs, so continue to monitor Mixon's practice status. Given how Perine performed with Mixon out, you may want to keep him around if you can afford the roster spot.

Bengals’ RB Joe Mixon, who missed Cincinnati’s win against the Titans due to a concussion, “is trending in the direction” of being able to play Sunday versus the Chiefs.

Week 13's AFC Championship rematch could be nothing short of offensive fireworks, and Mixon —or Samaje Perine if Mixon is forced out for a second straight week— would be a must-start if cleared.

Per Geoff, Ja'Maar Chase limited again at Thanksgiving practice. Joe Mixon out Thursday with concussion while Dax Hill and Chris Evans went full.

Samaje Perine looks to be in the driver's seat as the Bengals lead back for Week 12, which would make him a solid RB2 in fantasy.

Head coach Zac Taylor says Mixon is in concussion protocol. Hope level for Ja’Marr Chase: "Don’t know. Hard to make a prediction for Sunday. Getting him back on the field this week, and it is day-by-day."

The Bengals were without two of their big play-makers but didn't seem any worse for wear, as names like Samaje Perine and Trenton Irwin found the end zone multiple times. Perine has proven to be a valuable fantasy commodity if Mixon isn't on the field, so this is something to keep an eye on throughout the week.
