Chase Brown

Bengals QB Joe Burrow had one of the worst games of his career going 25/39 for 225 yards and 2 INTs with the Bengals scoring no points. This was the first time the Bengals have been shut out in a Burrow start. Despite the woeful offense, his weapons did come through in PPR with WR Ja Marr Chase going 10-132-0 on 16 targets. RB Chase Brown went 13-53-0 on the ground but 7-37-0 through the air catching all of his targets.

Perine saw one more carry than Chase Brown, but averaged just three yards per carry on the day with his longest gain coming on an eight-yard pickup. Perine briefly left the game in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury, and was carted to the locker room at one point. Despite all of this, he returned to finish out the day and should be good to go for Week 16 against the Dolphins. Even if he is active, fantasy managers can avoid him next week.

Brown PPR-scammed his way to a decent fantasy day, as his seven targets were second only to Ja'Marr Chase. Brown found himself in a near 50/50 rush split with Samaje Perine in this one, as Perine wound up handling 14 carries, but saw only one target. Brown remains the only fantasy viable running back in the Bengals' backfield and will be on the RB2 range next week against the Dolphins.

It's not often we see a player carted to the locker room only to return later in the game. That said, Perine did exactly that in the fourth quarter after exiting earlier with a knee injury. Perine didn't even miss a drive despite the injury, and returned to take more carries from Chase Brown.

Bengals RB Samaje Perine hurt his right leg in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He was in obvious pain and could put no weight on the leg. We'll update Perine's status when we know more. His absence turns RB Chase Brown back into a workhorse. Update: Perine returned on Cincinnati's next possession.
