STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Perine is viable flex with TD upside against Tennessee's weak run defense.

Perine is a viable flex this week. Over the last two games, he has split red zone work evenly with Chase Brown (two rushing attempts each) while averaging ten touches and 47 total yards. He has mustered a decent 10.3% explosive run rate and 2.29 yards after contact per attempt this season. Tennessee has allowed the fourth-highest explosive run rate, fifth-highest rushing success rate, and seventh-highest yards before contact per attempt over the last five games. If Perine scores a touchdown with 10-12 touches this week, he could easily be a nice flex play.
