Samaje Perine rushed 11 times for 43 yards in the Bengals’ Week 9 win over the Falcons.

Perine had 43 yards on 11 carries, which was notable because he had two more rushing attempts than starter Chase Brown. While Brown continues to underwhelm, Perine is cutting into Brown’s ceiling (or lack thereof) more than he’s carving out a legitimate role for himself. Perine is one of the better handcuffs to stash, but he shouldn’t be in starting lineups in Week 10 against the Steelers.
