From the article

Samaje Perine finished with 16 touches, 78 total yards, and a score as Chase Brown's backfield running mate. I'm not willing to declare Perine as a standalone flex play moving forward, as that was the first game of the season where Perine had more than eight touches. Brown dwarfed him in snap rate (63.2%) inside the 20-yard line. That feels like more noise than signal of Brown's role being in serious jeopardy moving forward. I'm not flexing Perine this week.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Perine's one big game is noise; not a flex play against tough Baltimore run D.

Samaje Perine finished his pre-bye game with 16 touches, 78 total yards, and a score as Chase Brown's backfield mate, but the source treats this as noise rather than signal of a sustained role increase. In Week 5, Perine played 50.8% of snaps with 45.2% rushing volume but only 33.3% route share; Brown dominated snap rate inside the 20-yard line (63.2% vs. Perine's implied share), and each back split red zone rushing attempts evenly. The source is not willing to declare Perine a standalone flex play moving forward and advises against flexing him this week in a rough matchup for early-down production against Baltimore's elite run defense.
