Perine's red zone work and favorable run matchup make him a viable flex with TD upside

Samaje Perine is a viable flex this week. Over the last two games, Perine has split the red zone work evenly with Chase Brown (two rushing attempts each) while averaging ten touches and 47 total yards. Perine has mustered a decent 10.3% explosive run rate and 2.29 yards after contact per attempt this season. Tennessee has allowed the fourth-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-highest rushing success rate, and the seventh-highest yards before contact per attempt over their last five games. If Perine scores a touchdown with 10-12 touches this week, he could easily be a nice flex play.
