Samaje Perine

Samaje Perine rushed once for 10 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 9 win over the Buccaneers, adding 25 yards and a touchdown on four receptions.

Perine found the end zone for the first time this season on a Patrick Mahomes scramble drill touchdown in early in the fourth quarter, a play in which Mahomes aggravated an ankle injury he suffered a week prior and had Chiefs’ nation holding their collective breath. Mahomes would return and lead two more scoring drives, most of the yardage of which was accounted for by backfield mate Kareem Hunt at the end of the fourth quarter and in overtime. Perine is unlikely to return fantasy value with Hunt seeing workhorse usage, in addition to the eventual return of lead back Isiah Pacheco.
