Perine carried three times for seven yards and caught three of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 27-14 loss to to Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Perine played 38 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps in the contest, placing him behind starter Javonte Williams (41) but ahead of Jaleel McLaughlin (nine), the latter of whom exited early with a head injury. After signing a two-year, $7.5 million deal with Denver last spring, Perine finished his first season in Denver with 53 carries for 238 yards and a touchdown and a career-high 50 receptions for 455 yards. Heading into the final year of his contract in 2024, Perine should continue to compete for backfield snaps with Williams and McLaughlin.

Perine rushed four times for 10 yards and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Perine operated as the Broncos' No. 3 running back Sunday, playing just 17 of Denver's 69 offensive snaps. Meanwhile, fellow running backs Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin were on the field for 31 and 19 snaps, respectively. Perine's 26 total yards from scrimmage was his lowest total since Week 13, and it appears he has taken a backseat to the rookie McLaughlin in the backfield pecking order. With such limited opportunities, the veteran remains off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 18 matchup with the Raiders.

Perine rushed once for two yards and caught four of five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Perine played 24 of Denver's 69 offensive snaps while starter Javonte Williams was on the field for 27 snaps. Despite handling a near-even split in snaps with Williams, the 28-year-old Perine managed to record only 29 yards from scrimmage in the contest. The veteran should be considered nothing more than an insurance policy for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Chargers.

Perine rushed six times for 37 yards and caught his lone target for 11 yards in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Perine operated as the primary backup to Javonte Williams on Saturday, playing 39 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps while Williams handled a 48 percent snap share. The former Bengal was the more efficient back, as Williams recorded 20 yards on 14 touches, but Perine's slightly elevated usage in Week 15 was likely due to game script, as the Broncos were playing from behind throughout the game. The veteran will be hard to trust for fantasy purposes as long as Williams can stay healthy. The Broncos host the Patriots in Week 16.

Perine (knee) doesn't have a game status for Saturday's matchup with the Lions after he was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being listed as a full participant Tuesday on the Broncos' first Week 15 injury report, Perine was downgraded to a non-participant Wednesday, but his return to full activity Thursday suggests his absence from practice was maintenance-related. He should be able to fill his usual role as the Broncos' preferred running back on passing downs, with Javonte Williams continuing to see the bulk of the snaps on early downs. Perine has drawn at least one target in all 13 of Denver's games to date and has already established career-high totals in catches (40) and receiving yards (378).

Perine (knee/rest) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Perine was estimated as a full practice participant Tuesday, but was deemed a non-participant a day later. Given that his listed absence was attributed to a combination of knee/rest, chances are Perine will be deemed a participant in Thursday's session. A return a full listing would pave the way for the running back to approach Saturday's game against the Lions minus an injury designation.

Perine (knee) rushed twice for eight yards and caught all five of his targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Perine finished second behind Courtland Sutton (62) in receiving yards. He handled his usual role in the backfield on passing situations, suggesting that the knee injury that kept Perine out of Friday's practice isn't hampering him any longer. Perine has caught multiple passes in all but one game for the Broncos heading into a Week 15 trip to Detroit.

Perine (knee) is

EDGE Analysis

The veteran complementary back was reported to be in line to suit up Sunday, and his availability is now confirmed. Perine will therefore be available to handle his usual solid No. 2 role alongside top back Javonte Williams against a Chargers defense that's allowed 149 rushing yards per contest in the last three games, along with the second-most receptions (75) to running backs on the season.

Perine (knee) is expected to be active for Sunday's Week 14 game versus the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perine popped up on the injury report Friday due to a knee issue that caused him to miss practice. Despite that development, the running back appears in line to suit up against the Chargers on Sunday. Perine will likely continue to work as the Broncos' No. 2 back behind Javonte Williams in that contest.

Perine is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers with a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

Perine was listed as a full participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he might have suffered a setback at some point along the way after downgrading to no activity Friday. Given the way he ended the week of practice, Perine may not be ready to play Sunday, though official word on his status should come when Denver releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Perine is out this weekend, rookie Jaleel McLaughlin could be in line for additional snaps behind Javonte Williams, particularly on passing downs.
