Scouting report

DEN RB Samaje Perine - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers
Samaje Perine was barely involved in the offense in Week 13 when he got one carry and two catches on two targets for only six total yards. Perine works as a chance of pace option behind Javonte Williams but has a virtually nonexistent floor for fantasy as he is only guaranteed a couple of opportunities on a weekly basis. The Broncos get a favorable fantasy matchup this week going against a poor Chargers defense, but Perine's usage is too sparse to consider starting him as we close out the fantasy season.

DEN RB Samaje Perine - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Cleveland Browns
Samaje Perine had a nice PPR day in Week 11 when he caught all seven of his targets for 60 receiving yards. The targets and catches were season-highs for Perine, but he still only saw one carry in the running game as Javonte Williams continues to dominate touches out of the Denver backfield. Perine will benefit from negative game scripts, but the Broncos are 2.5 point favorites this week playing at home. Without any guarantee that he will replicate his target volume from last week against the Browns, Perine is not a good fantasy option unless you are truly desperate in a deep league.

DEN RB Samaje Perine - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Minnesota Vikings
Samaje Perine remains the third option in the Denver backfield. Javonte Williams saw 25 touches in Week 10, and rookie Jaleel McLaughlin got eight compared to just four for Perine. Perine will not be a worthy fantasy starter unless Williams goes down with an injury that causes him to miss time.

DEN RB Samaje Perine - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 @ Buffalo Bills
Samaje Perine is stuck in a timeshare with Jaleel McLaughlin backing up lead back Javonte Williams. Neither player is getting more than 20% of the offensive snaps behind Williams, meaning Perine is not a viable fantasy starter barring an injury somewhere else in the backfield.

DEN RB Samaje Perine - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Samaje Perine only played 23% of the offensive snaps in Week 7, totaling 41 scoreless yards on five touches. Perine is an ancillary option in the three-headed Denver backfield with Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin at this point, rendering him useless for fantasy purposes.

DEN RB Samaje Perine - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Green Bay Packers
Samaje Perine is now ensnared in a three-way committee in the Denver backfield, and in Week 6 he did not get a single carry while only recording two receptions on two targets. With Javonte Williams back healthy and rookie Jaleel McLaughlin showing off solid efficiency in the running and passing games, Perine looks like a distant third option for the Broncos and only played 15% of the snaps against Kansas City. In his current offensive environment, Perine simply does not project for sufficient usage to be considered in fantasy.
