Samaje Perine

Perine's first reception was a 21-yarder that setup the Chiefs' opening-drive touchdown. He was brought down at the Raiders' three-yard line. Perine looks great as a receiver and remains a worthwhile bench stash in PPR leagues. He could warrant flex consideration in deep-leagues against the Buccaneers in Week 9.

Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt handled 73% of the team's RB rushes in Sunday's win over the 49ers. That gave him 22 attempts for 78 yards (3.5 per carry) and 2 TDs. Hunt also saw increased usage in the passing game. His 53% route share marked a season high and beat Samaje Perine (34.4%) for the second straight game.

Steeler again played well behind lead back Kareem Hunt. Samaje Perine had two rushing attempts and caught his only target. If Hunt were to miss time, Steele and Perine would likely split the team's backfield workload.

Perine saw just one target on the day. He spelled lead back Kareem Hunt a couple times in the first half but was otherwise uninvolved in the run-first Kansas City offense. Carson Steele, meanwhile, had six rushes. Perine for now is nothing more than a bench stash.

Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is inactive for today s game vs. the 49ers. He was off the final injury report, so Kansas City is just opting to roll with RBs Kareem Hunt, Carson Steele, and Samaje Perine.
