Barely plays in second season
Perine finished 2018 with eight carries for 32 yards and three catches for five yards in five games.
Analysis: Disappointing as a rookie, the 2017 fourth-round pick spent most of his sophomore campaign serving as a healthy scratch. Perine likely will need to compete for a roster spot in 2019, though he could find an opening for a meaningful role if Adrian Peterson leaves Washington and Derrius Guice (knee) continues to struggle through the rehab process from a torn ACL.

Healthy inactive
Perine (coach's decision) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Titans.
Analysis: Saturday's designation means Perine will miss his sixth straight game and fourth as a healthy inactive. Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson and Byron Marshall will continue to field the touches out of the backfield.

Healthy scratch Sunday
Perine (coach's decision) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Jaguars.
Analysis: Perine will sit out for his fifth straight game and his third as a healthy inactive. With Perine watching from the sidelines, Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson and Byron Marshall will work in the backfield.

Not available Week 14
Perine (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Perine's inclusion on the Redskins' inactive list is less surprising than that of Kapri Bibbs, who also is a healthy scratch. With the duo unavailable Sunday, Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson and Byron Marshall will compose the options out of the backfield.

Inactive Week 13
Perine (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Eagles.
Analysis: Perine has only run the ball five times this season for a total of 25 yards, and with Chris Thompson (ribs) back in action Monday, the Redskins are not in need of a fourth running back. They will instead roll with Thompson, Adrian Peterson and Kapri Bibbs in a key divisional matchup. As long as all three aforementioned backs stay healthy, it will be difficult for Perine to see playing time in Washington's backfield this season.

Absent from injury report
Perine (calf) isn't listed on the Redskins' initial Week 13 injury report.
Analysis: With a longer turnaround time between games after the Redskins played on Thanksgiving Day in Week 12, Perine looks like he'll enter the team's Monday night matchup with the Eagles at full strength. However, it's uncertain if his improved health will be enough for him to escape the inactive list. Washington is expected to get pass-catching specialist Chris Thompson (ribs) back from a four-game absence this week, giving the team an option to pair with top ballcarrier Adrian Peterson (shoulder).…read more

Questionable for Thursday
Perine (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas.
Analysis: Perine opened the week as a non-participant in practice before upgrading to limited showings Tuesday and Wednesday. With Adrian Peterson taking most of the carries while Kapri Bibbs and Byron Marshall handle passing-down work, Perine may stay on the inactive list even if he's healthy enough to play.

Limited Tuesday
Perine (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Analysis: Perine missed Sunday's game against the Texans and was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report. His return to practice on a limited basis is encouraging, but because the Redskins play on Thursday, he might not be fully ready in time for Week 12.

Listed as non-participant
Perine (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Although Perine got rid of the knee injury that appeared on the practice report last Thursday and Friday, he wouldn't have participated Monday if the Redskins held a session. He has two more practices to prove his health, with the aim to provide support to starter Adrian Peterson (shoulder) on Thursday in Dallas. If Perine and Chris Thompson (rib) are sidelined again, Kapri Bibbs and Byron Marshall would be afforded those opportunities.

Sitting out Week 11
Coach Jay Gruden announced Perine (calf/knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Perine will be joined in street clothes by Chris Thompson (ribs), leaving Adrian Peterson and Kapri Bibbs as the only healthy backs on the roster. To compensate for the two absences, Gruden hinted that the team will likely activate Byron Marshall (knee) from injured reserve to afford Washington a third backfield option. Once he overcomes the calf and knee issues, it's unlikely that Perine will have much of a role -- if one at all -- within the Washington offense. He had been a healthy inactive…read more

Limited in practice Thursday
Perine (knee/calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Perine is a surprise addition to Thursday's injury report, after the second-year running back was able to practice without issue to begin the week. The details of Perine's knee and calf injuries remain undisclosed, and his Week 11 availability appears uncertain. Perine has yet to see more than two carries in a single game this season, so his presence one way or another is unlikely to affect Washington's offense during Sunday's contest against the Texans.

Active again Sunday
Perine is active for Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Perine has been called upon this season during Chris Thompson's (ribs) three absences, and he'll do the same Week 10. In those outings, Perine accrued 30 yards from scrimmage on eight touches. With Adrian Peterson and Kapri Bibbs in front of him, Perine can't be expected to receive more than a handful of looks, barring an injury to one of the pair.

Gets four touches
Perine took two carries for 20 yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: Perine was active for just the third time all season, handling a 22 percent snap share behind Adrian Peterson (46 percent) and Kapri Bibbs (30 percent). There isn't much cause for optimism moving forward, as all of Perine's targets and carries came on the meaningless final drive in a blowout. He'll have a tough time staying involved Week 10 at Tampa Bay.

Active Week 9
Perine is active for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Available on gameday for just the third time in eight games this season, Perine has a chance for his most significant workload of the season due to injuries elsewhere in the backfield. Chris Thompson (ribs) is sidelined, while the only other active running back Kapri Bibbs is suiting up just one week removed from separating his shoulder. On the season, though, Perine has managed just two yards from scrimmage on four touches, so it's difficult to count on much (if any) production behind Adrian…read more

Inactive Sunday
Perine (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest at the Giants.
Analysis: Perine was kept on the gameday roster during Chris Thompson's (ribs/knee) two-game absence but only played 10 offensive snaps and 18 on special teams. Perine's production wasn't anything special, either (four touches for two yards from scrimmage). Don't expect another appearance unless injury befalls another member of the backfield.

Held to two yards
Perine carried the ball twice for two yards during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Dallas.
Analysis: Two yards on four touches: That's been Perine's contribution to the Washington offense in two active games this season. Perine is only seeing the field because Chris Thompson (ribs/knee) is on the shelf. Given Perine's poor production in Thompson's absence, expect Perine to return to the inactive list as soon as Thompson is back in action. If that absence extends to Sunday, Perine is likely to gather Adrian Peterson and Kapri Bibbs' scraps against a middle-of-the-pack Giants run defense.

Active for first time this season
Perine is active for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: For the first time this season, Perine cracked the 46-man gameday roster. The opportunity arose with Chris Thompson (ribs/knee) inactive, but Adrian Peterson is still on hand to handle the bulk of the carries while Kapri Bibbs is the best bet to act as the Thompson fill-in. If he sees the field Sunday, Perine's track record includes 3.4 YPC and 22 catches (on 24 targets) in 16 games during the 2017 campaign.

Remains inactive Week 5
Perine (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday at New Orleans.
Analysis: Perine has yet to be on the Redskins' 46-man active roster for gamedays this season, likely due to the effective backfield duo of Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson. The preceding likely will be Perine's reality unless something befalls Peterson or Thompson.

Inactive again Sunday
Perine (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Packers.
Analysis: With the placement of Rob Kelley (toe) on injured reserve this week, Perine was expected to earn active status for the first time this season Week 3. Instead, the Redskins promoted Kapri Bibbs from the practice squad Saturday and opted to make him the No. 3 running back behind Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson. At this point, Perine appears to be a persona non grata in Washington.

Moves up depth chart
Perine will move up to third on the depth chart after Rob Kelley (toe) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: A healthy inactive for the first two weeks of the season, Perine now finds himself just one Adrian Peterson injury away from a regular role as Washington's lead ballcarrier. That said, it isn't entirely out of the question for Perine to land on the inactive list again for Week 3 against Green Bay, as head coach Jay Gruden may want to add another running back to the roster who might offer more value on special teams. Kelley took four carries for eight yards during his two-game stint as the…read more

Healthy scratch Sunday
Perine (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Colts.
Analysis: Perine remains the odd man out in the Redskins backfield with all of Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson and Rob Kelley in good health. As a result, Perine will kick off his second pro campaign with back-to-back absences.

Inactive Week 1
Perine (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday in Arizona.
Analysis: After rookie Derrius Guice was lost for the season due to a torn ACL, Perine had a chance to stake a claim to the backfield, but that was before Adrian Peterson was signed off the free-agent scrap heap. Peterson impressed during the preseason, and with Chris Thompson and Rob Kelley also on hand, Perine seemingly will be the odd man out on game day as long as the top three are healthy.

Keeps roster spot
Perine has a spot on Washington's initial 53-man roster, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Faced with a decision between Perine or Kapri Bibbs for the final RB spot, Washington chose pure running ability over passing-down skill. Perine may enter Week 1 at the very bottom of the depth chart, potentially stuck behind Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson (leg) and Rob Kelley. The second-year pro likely would be part of a committee if Peterson were to get benched or injured.

Looks solid besides fumble
Perine (ankle) took seven carries for 30 yards and failed to catch his lone target in Thursday's preseason loss to Baltimore, also losing a fumble along the way.
Analysis: With Chris Thompson (leg) and Adrian Peterson already locked into roster spots, Washington used Thursday's game to evaluate Perine, Rob Kelley and Kapri Bibbs. Perine got the start and had a reasonably efficient night on the ground, but Kelley fared a bit better with 11 carries for 49 yards. Given that Bibbs offers the most as a pass catcher, it isn't out of the question for either Perine or Kelley to be released within the next few days. Perine seemed to make it through Thursday's game without…read more

On track for preseason finale
Perine (ankle) should be ready for Thursday's preseason game against Baltimore, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Perine had a bit of hype after Derrius Guice suffered an ACL tear, but between his own ankle injury and the addition of Adrian Peterson, it now seems the second-year pro isn't even a lock for the 53-man roster. Washington will probably need to choose two players between Perine, Rob Kelley and Kapri Bibbs, with Thursday's preseason game offering each player one final chance to make an impression. Perine may have the most potential in terms of pure running ability, but Bibbs is the best pass…read more

Returns to practice
Perine (ankle) was spotted at practice Sunday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: In the wake of Derrius Guice's ACL tear, Washington is still sorting out its running back options. Perine's return to the field helps keep him in the equation on that front, along with fellow returnees Rob Kelley and Chris Thompson. Meanwhile, recent addition Adrian Peterson made a strong case for a key role out of the gate with an 11-carry, 56-yard effort in Friday's preseason loss to the Broncos.

Getting close to return
Coach Jay Gruden said Tuesday that Perine is approaching a return to practice, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Perine sprained his ankle in the Redskins' second preseason game last Thursday, with an expectation that he'd be sidelined at least one week. With another exhibition Friday, he likely has just one chance to make an impression on the training staff in order to play, but Derrius Guice's ACL tear has thrown such a wrench in the team's plans that Adrian Peterson was brought on board this week. As a result, Gruden may buck norms and trot out Perine (if healthy), Peterson and Rob Kelley in preseason…read more

Likely to miss some time
Perine (ankle) likely will be out for at least a week, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Perine rumbled for 30 yards on his first carry in Thursday's preseason game against the Jets, but he injured his ankle on an awkward collision at the end of the play. Even if the injury doesn't impact Perine's availability for Week 1, it could hurt his bid to beat out Rob Kelley for lead rusher status. Survival is the name of the game in Washington, where Derrius Guice (knee) is already done for the season and Byron Marshall is out for 2-to-4 weeks with an ankle injury of his own.

Dealing with ankle sprain
Coach Jay Gruden said that Perine is dealing with a sprained ankle but is believed to be okay, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Perine had a scare in Thursday's preseason game against the Jets when he hurt his ankle at the tail end of a 30-yard run. Fortunately, the Redskins are saying that Perine's sprain won't cost him significant time, and he'll have a full week to get treatment before the team makes a determination on his status for the third preseason game. WIth Derrius Guice (knee) already lost for the season, the Redskins figure to be cautious with Perine.

Perine's workload for the upcoming season is expected to increase following Derrius Guice's ACL tear, Peter Hailey of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Injury struck the 2018 second-round pick during Thursday's preseason game in New England, ending the rookie's campaign before it even started. The rest of the backfield will benefit, barring a free-agent signing before Week 1. While Chris Thompson (leg) is the pass-catching back, Perine and Rob Kelley are on pace for an increase in their respective workloads.

No. 3 on unofficial RB depth chart
Perine appeared as the No. 3 running back on the Redskins' first unofficial depth chart, Adam Zielonka of The Washington Times reports.
Analysis: Perine had a steady workload towards the end of the 2017 campaign, rushing 109 times for 393 yards and one touchdown while catching 16 passes for 127 yards in the final seven games. However, his uptick in usage was a result of injuries to Chris Thompson (lower leg) and Rob Kelley, both of whom are back at practice and should be ready for Week 1. The arrival of second-round pick Derrius Guice makes Perine an afterthought for fantasy owners, and the second-year back might even be an afterthought…read more

Perine finds himself in a crowded backfield alongside Chris Thompson (leg), Rob Kelley (ankle) and rookie second-round pick Derrius Guice, Kimberley A. Martin of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Despite having a clear advantage over his backfield mates in terms of running ability, Guice presumably will need to compete for carries with Perine and Kelley during training camp, while Thompson is a lock for passing downs if his recovery from December surgery stays on track. A fourth-round pick last year, Perine averaged 3.4 yards on 175 carries as a rookie, adding 22 catches for 182 yards on 24 targets, with only two scores on 197 touches.

Redskins coach Jay Gruden said there's a good chance the team will use an early draft pick on a running back to join Perine, Chris Thompson (leg) and Rob Kelley (ankle) in the backfield, Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan DC reports.
Analysis: Thompson did a phenomenal job on passing downs until a fractured fibula ended his season after 10 games, but it was a far different story for Perine (3.4 yards per carry) and Kelley (3.1 YPC) on early downs. The only silver lining for the 2017 fourth-round pick was marking consecutive 100-yard games in Weeks 11 and 12, as he otherwise produced 3.2 yards or less per carry in each game with double-digit totes. Thompson will be locked in on passing downs if his recovery continues on schedule,…read more

Perine, who totaled three yards on two rushing attempts in Week 17's loss to the Giants, finished the season with 603 rushing yards and one touchdown on 175 attempts to go along with 22 receptions for 182 yards and one touchdown.
Analysis: It was an up-and-down year for the fourth-round selection, who figured to compete for the starting running back role out of the gate to start the 2017 season. However, things did not go exactly to plan, as Perine found himself buried on the depth chart behind Rob Kelley and Chris Thompson for the first 10 weeks of the season.

Perine is questionable to return to Sunday's road game against the Giants due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Perine left the contest on the Redskins' second offensive play, a four-yard run.

Perine carried 17 times for 53 yards and caught three passes for an additional 21 yards during Sunday's 27-11 victory over the Broncos. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Perine averaged just 3.1 yards per carry on the ground, but a healthy allotment of touches allowed him to pile up 74 scrimmage yards. He left the game briefly in the fourth quarter with an apparent Achilles injury but was able to return to finish off the contest. Perine could be limited throughout the week as a precaution, but his ability to return to the fray bodes well for his availability against a hapless Giants team on New Year's Eve.

Perine (Achilles) returned to Sunday's game versus the Broncos.

Injures Achilles on Sunday
Perine is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to an Achilles injury.
Analysis: Perine has been befallen by one of the few dreaded injuries, at least before the final diagnosis is known. Clearly, the Redskins are leaving the door open for reentry to the contest, but if he doesn't make another appearance, he'll finish Week 16 with 15 carries for 53 yards and three receptions (on as many targets) for 21 yards. In his stead, the Redskins will turn to Kapri Bibbs out of the backfield.

Analysis: The rookie expressed optimism a couple days ago that he would be able to suit up for the Week 16 contest, but that shouldn't be taken as a given after the groin issue -- which first surfaced during Thursday's practice -- prevented him from practicing Friday in any capacity.

Analysis: Gruden expects to have a better idea by Saturday, perhaps hoping to see how Perine responds to a day of rest. The rookie tweaked his groin during Thursday's practice and was held out Friday, leading to a 'questionable' designation on the final injury report.

Analysis: Perine and LeShun Daniels (broken hand) both suffered injuries Thursday, leaving Kapri Bibbs as the lone running back available for Friday's practice. With Daniels out for the season and Perine seemingly on the wrong side of the 'questionable' tag, the Redskins figure to promote Dare Ogunbowale from the practice squad before Sunday. Should Perine end up missing the game, Bibbs might be asked to handle a three-down role, albeit against a stingy Denver defense.

Not practicing Friday
Perine (groin) and teammate LeShun Daniels (illness) both missed Friday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Perine injured his groin Thursday and wasn't able to finish practice. His continued absence Friday suggests he's in serious danger of missing Sunday's game against the Broncos, potentially leaving Kapri Bibbs as the Week 16 starter. With Daniels also absent, Bibbs was the only running back on the field at Friday's practice.

Injures groin at practice
Head coach Jay Gruden said Perine injured his groin in the early portion of Thursday's practice and missed the rest of the session, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: At this point in the season, Perine is the last running back standing in Washington with Chris Thompson (fibula), Rob Kelley (ankle), Keith Marshall (knee) and Byron Marshall (hamstring) all on injured reserve. This reality has allowed Perine to average 20.6 touches per game over the last five contests. When Gruden spoke to the media Thursday, he stated his belief that Perine's issue is a "minor" one, but it remains to be seen how his status will be impacted for Sunday's game against the…read more

Perine rushed 14 times for 37 yards and caught both his targets for 29 more in Sunday's 20-15 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Perine averaged just 2.6 yards per carry for the second consecutive game, lowering his season average to 3.5. The rookie fourth-rounder out of Oklahoma is the top rushing option in Washington's injury-depleted offense, but he's scored only one rushing touchdown. After an explosive receiving performance in this one, practice squad callup Kapri Bibbs could be the man to own in this backfield given Perine's plodding style and underwhelming results.

Perine (illness) wasn't listed on the Redskins' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Perine slogged his way through an illness Sunday against the Chargers, notching 17 carries for 45 yards and four receptions (on four targets) for seven yards. When he departed with 13:38 left in the contest, he joined reserve running back Byron Marshall on the sideline. Marshall has since been placed on IR due to a hamstring injury, leaving Perine as the last man standing in a backfield that's already lost Chris Thompson (fibula), Rob Kelley (ankle) and Keith Marshall (knee) for the season.…read more

Recovering from illness
Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Monday that Perine is merely dealing with an illness and should be okay.
Analysis: Perine was removed from Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Chargers with a "stomach" ailment, which might have been interpreted as an abdomen or core muscle injury. It turns out he was just feeling sick and was thus removed from the latter stages of a blowout loss, finishing with 17 carries for 45 yards and four catches for seven yards on four targets. Byron Marshall (hamstring) also left the game early, eventually leaving LeShun Daniels as the team's only healthy running back. Marshall may end up…read more

Perine is questionable to return to Sunday's road game against the Chargers due to a stomach concern.
Analysis: There's no hint of the nature of the issue, but if Perine is unable to re-enter the contest, head coach Jay Gruden will likely touch on the running back's health in an upcoming media session. At the time of his departure, Perine had 17 carries for 45 yards and corralled all four passes sent his way for seven yards. Because his backup Byron Marshall was ruled out earlier due to a hamstring injury, the Redskins' sole healthy back on the 53-man roster is LeShun Daniels.

Perine rushed 12 times for 38 yards and brought in all three of his targets for 31 yards in Thursday's 38-14 loss to the Cowboys. He also recovered a fumble.
Analysis: Perine exited the game in the first half to be checked for a concussion, but he was eventually cleared to return. With the game getting away from the Redskins in the second half, Perine saw his rushing opportunities limited compared to his first two starts, as his 12 carries represented a significant downturn from the 24 and 23 he'd logged in the prior two contests. On the positive side, Perine was able to garner a solid role in the passing game for the second consecutive game, as he equaled…read more

Perine racked up 100 yards on 24 carries to go along with three receptions for 30 yards in Thursday's 20-10 win over the Giants.
Analysis: With fellow running back Chris Thompson (lower leg) placed on injured reserve, Perine saw the bulk of the work in the backfield on Thanksgiving. He handled lead-back duties well, as he contributed an efficient 4.2 yards per rush. The rookie, who was coming off his first career 100-yard rushing game, now has two in a row and will attempt to make it three in the Redskins' Week 13 matchup versus the Cowboys.

Playing Thursday
Perine (finger) is active for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Perine is slated for lead-back duty moving forward due to season-ending injuries to Chris Thompson (lower leg) and Rob Kelley (ankle). After the first 100-yard performance of his career Sunday at New Orleans, Perine will be seeking to do the same against a New York defense that has given up 107.3 rushing yards per game to running backs in 2017.

Week 12 status up in air
Perine (finger) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest versus the Giants, Kimberley A. Martin of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: On the heels of a career-high 117 yards on the ground Sunday in New Orleans, Perine was listed as limited on each of the Redskins' three injury reports this week with a finger issue. His status remains up in the air upon the release of Wednesday's report, but with Chris Thompson (fibula) landing on injured reserve this week, the Redskins haven't showed much urgency in bolstering the backfield. Assuming Perine gets the clearance to play Thursday, he'll be facing a Giants defense that has given…read more

Perine (finger) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: The finger issue isn't considered anything overly concerning, so the Redskins are presumably limiting Perine's practice reps after the busiest game to date of his young career in Sunday's loss to the Saints. Perine, who amassed 126 total yards and a touchdown on 24 touches in the contest, looks positioned to serve as the Redskins' lead back the rest of the way with Chris Thompson (lower leg) joining Rob Kelley (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Listed as limited due to finger
Perine (finger) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's injury report for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: There's little reason to think the finger issue will jeopardize his game-day availability, especially considering that the Redskins tend to list every little ailment on their injury report. Perine rumbled for 117 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Saints, and he may get more involved in the passing game with Chris Thompson potentially out for the season due to a fractured fibula. Byron Marshall is the only other healthy running back on the roster, though…read more

Perine rushed 23 times for 117 yards and a touchdown while adding a nine-yard catch on two targets in Sunday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Fellow running back Chris Thompson broke his fibula in this one, joining Rob Kelley (ankle/knee) on the list of sidelined Washington running backs. Those two injuries should leave Perine with all the touches he can handle moving forward, especially since he took advantage of an expanded role in this one with career-highs in carries and rushing yards to go with his first career rushing touchdown. The rookie fourth-rounder out of Oklahoma may yet live up to the preseason hype that surrounded him.

Perine will take over as the starting running back while Rob Kelley misses time with ankle and knee injuries, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With Kelley slated to miss multiple games and even in danger of landing on injured reserve, Perine will have an extended opportunity to lead the Washington rushing attack. He failed to impress while filling in for an injured Kelley earlier this season, managing only 116 yards on 40 carries (2.9) in Weeks 2 and 3 against the Rams and Raiders. The rookie fourth-round pick has a long gain of just 12 yards on 66 carries, and he doesn't figure to see more than a couple targets per game. That said,…read more

Perine carried the ball nine times for 35 yards and added a 25-yard catch in Sunday's 38-30 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Perine entered Sunday with just two touches in his previous three games. He found his way back into the action on Sunday after Rob Kelley went down with an ankle injury. Perine should be expected to see about 10-12 touches per game if Kelley misses any time. He carried the ball 28 times in the two games Kelley missed earlier in the season for just 72 yards. While that totals a putrid 2.6 yards per carry, Washington's other option -- Chris Thompson -- is more of a change-of-speed player,…read more

Perine recorded two carries for nine yards in Sunday's win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Although it wasn't much, Perine worked his way into the offensive gameplan Sunday after failing to record a rep with the unit the previous two weeks. However, Washington seems content continuing with the two-headed attack of Chris Thompson and Rob Kelley in the backfield, which will leave the rookie with little fantasy value. For now, Perine's biggest contributions will likely come on special teams.
