Bengals' Samaje Perine: Finds end zone in easy win
Samaje Perine rushed seven times for 25 yards and one touchdown in the Cincinnati Bengals' 45-21 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He added two catches for 16 yards on three targets.Since coming back from an injury in Week 13, Perine has recorded 41 carries across four games, significantly eating into Chase Brown's workload. Brown, however, wasn't affected much against Miami, scoring a trio of touchdowns Sunday. While Brown is healthy, Perine has minimal fantasy appeal outside of the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Returns for final series
Samaje Perine (ankle) returned from injury in the Cincinnati Bengals' final offensive series during Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Ravens. He finished the game with 14 carries for 42 yards and one catch for one yard on his only target.Frequently, players with ankle injuries experience a decent amount of swelling subsequent to suffering the injury, so we'll track Perine's status heading into practice next week. Perine and Chase Brown split carries almost evenly Sunday, though Brown was far more involved in the passing game.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Paces team in rushing yards Sunday
Samaje Perine rushed six times for 31 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Buffalo. He also returned two kickoffs for 49 yards.As usual, Chase Brown worked as Cincinnati's clear lead back, but he managed just 23 yards on 12 carries, albeit with a touchdown on the ground and another through the air. Perine was much more efficient with 31 yards on just six carries, though he didn't get into the end zone. Perine has posted a hearty 5.2 YPC on the campaign, but he's averaged a modest 24.4 rushing yards per contest as Brown's backup.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Fumbles in return to action
Samaje Perine rushed 14 times for 39 yards and brought in both targets for 15 yards in the Cincinnati Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night. He also lost a fumble.Perine returned from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury and saw only one fewer carry than backfield mate Chase Brown, but he gained exactly half of the latter's 78 rushing yards. Perine also lost his second fumble of the season at the Ravens' 14-yard line with just over five minutes remaining, but the Bengals were able to regain possession five plays later when they forced the ball from Zay Flowers after a reception. Perine should continue slotting into a relatively solid complementary role moving forward now that he's back to full health.

After missing the Bengals' previous two games, Perine should step back in as the top change-of-pace option behind starting running back Chase Brown.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Estimated as full participant Monday
Samaje Perine (ankle) was estimated as a full participant on Monday's practice report, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.Perine has missed each of the Cincinnati Bengals' past two contests after suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 9. With Tahj Brooks (concussion) already ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Ravens, Perine appears set to return behind Chase Brown. Perine had been handling a decent chunk of the pass-down and two-minute work for Cincinnati prior to his injury, so his return could be a small hit to Brown's fantasy outlook.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Missing second straight game
Samaje Perine (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.Listed as doubtful heading into Sunday after failing to practice in any fashion this week, Perine will unsurprisingly wind up missing a second straight game. His absence will clear the way for Tahj Brooks to serve as the No. 2 running back behind starter Chase Brown, who should continue to see increased involvement on passing downs sans Perine.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Officially doubtful for Week 12
Samaje Perine (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots.Perine's doubtful designation was expected based on reporting from earlier in the week.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Considered doubtful for Week 12
Samaje Perine (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.Perine is still recovering from a high-ankle sprain sustained during Cincinnati's loss to the Bears in Week 9, and it appears as though he'll need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines. Tahj Brooks handled seven offensive snaps with Perine unavailable versus Pittsburgh in Week 11, his second-highest total of the season, though he logged only one carry for five yards while Chase Brown continued to handle a workhorse role.
