Scouting report

WAS RB Samaje Perine - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Arizona Cardinals

The only show in town, Samaje Perine will continue to provide a steady floor for fantasy owners in Week 15. Here are his touch counts in the last four games: 24, 27, 15, 21. Yet another RB went on IR this week for Washington: Byron Marshall. The Cardinals are middle of the road in aFPA to this position, which makes Perine no worse than an RB2 this week.

WAS RB Samaje Perine - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers

Washington has a below average implied team total in Vegas this week of 20.25 points. The Chargers have also allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks over the past four weeks, meaning Washington should rely on the run game more this week. Samaje Perine is the only show in town. His volume should be substantial against a defense that's only 21st in aFPA to RBs. Start Perine as a high-end RB2/low-end RB1 in Week 14.

WAS RB Samaje Perine - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Dallas Cowboys

This is not your typical Thursday night game with teams coming off short rest, after Dallas and Washington played on Thanksgiving. With Rob Kelley and Chris Thompson out of the picture the last two weeks, Perine has produced 256 yards and a score on 51 touches. He's, at worst, an every week RB2 moving forward—that includes Week 13. Volume is king, and Perine has it. Dallas is also just middle of the road in fantasy points allowed to RBs.

WAS RB Samaje Perine - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New York Giants

Welcome to Samaje Perine, the bell cow RB. Rob Kelley and Chris Thompson are both on IR. It's the rookie's show now, and that meant a whopping 24 touches for 126 yards and a touchdown last week. The Giants are just 26th in our aFPA vs. RB rankings. He's an RB2 the rest of season, with big upside this week.

WAS RB Samaje Perine - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at New Orleans Saints

This has the making of a shootout for Washington's offense, as Vegas has placed the second-highest total on this game for Week 11 at 51 points. Despite being underdogs, Washington is still in the top half of implied team totals this week. In the backfield, Rob Kelley is on IR, leaving rookie Samaje Perine to assume early-down work. However, odds are Washington will be playing from behind in this game. Consider Perine a very risky FLEX play in this spot—one that will likely require him to score a touchdown to return your fantasy investment this week.

WAS RB Samaje Perine - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Seattle Seahawks

This backfield is the Chris Thompson show at this point, and nobody else is a viable fantasy starter, including the rookie Perine.

WAS RB Samaje Perine - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Rob Kelley is healthy. That means Samaje Perine is back to the bench in real life and the waiver wire in fantasy.
