Summary

Samaje Perine served as a clear handcuff and compliment to Mixon in 2021, playing roughly 20% of the snaps. His real value is in the passing game; he averaged close to two targets per game while Mixon only averaged three. If Mixon misses time, games like week 16 in 2020 with 136 total yards and two touchdowns show Perine has a usable fantasy ceiling.

Chris Evans emerging as Cincy's No. 2?

Cincinnati Bengals RB Chris Evans could supplant RB Samaje Perine as the team's No. 2 running back in 2022, The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. writes. 'If [Evans] can continue to grow as a pass protector and build trust in the coaching staff to do the right things, you could make an argument he could supplant Perine as the third-down back.'
