From the article

Chase Brown dominated the snap share (48), but Perine saw eight total touches across his 18 snaps and he's quietly developed into a useful pass catcher the last five years (160 receptions for 1,347 receiving yards across 81 games). This pickup is really only useful in deep leagues that have multiple starting flex spots, but Perine seems to have a safe floor that isn't "zero" for a player no one ever thinks about in terms of quality backup RBs.

Perine's pass-catching history provides deep-league floor value behind Chase Brown.

Perine saw eight total touches across 18 snaps in Week 1, confirming a depth-chart role behind Chase Brown (48 snaps). He has quietly developed into a useful pass catcher over the last five years with 160 receptions for 1,347 receiving yards across 81 games. This pickup is useful only in deep leagues with multiple starting flex spots, but Perine offers a safe floor above zero for a player rarely considered among quality backup running backs.
