If Joe Burrow misses time, how would Perine’s role shift in Cincinnati’s backfield for fantasy value?
Qwiket AI:
Burrow’s absence would likely shift the Bengals toward a more run-focused game plan, elevating Perine’s role in short-yardage and two-minute situations. His pass-protection chops make him the safer option for extended drives, with a potential near-startable floor in PPR leagues. Expect 8–12 touches weekly if Burrow is out, with more involvement in early-down and third-down packages in a run-first script.
