News: 4 days agoPerine carried once for four yards and secured three of his four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders.

Spin: Despite leading all Denver running backs in offensive snaps, Perine was unable to get much going for fantasy purposes. The veteran's 50 percent snap share was just over that of teammate Javonte Williams, who reached a 45 percent snap share in the contest. With that said, Williams was much more involved in the game plan with 12 carries and three targets. It's possible that Perine could continue to see a dip in touches as Williams proves he can handle a normal workload. Nonetheless, the 28-year-old Perine will look to have a bounce-back performance when the Broncos visit the Dolphins in Week 3.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Perine signed with the Broncos after stints with Washington, Miami and Cincinnati during his six NFL seasons. The 2017 fourth-round pick put together his best fantasy campaign last season (681 yards and six TDs on 133 touches) and showed some lead back potential, producing 330 yards and four TDs on 63 touches during three games Joe Mixon was injured. Perine has been a backup most of his career (401 carries, 122 targets) and that will be his role in Denver, but it's possible he'll be called on for a larger workload early in the season as Javonte Williams (torn ACL last season) gets back to full speed. Perine, now 27 years old, will be on the RB2 radar only if Williams is sidelined.
