From the episode

Samaj P. Ryan was on the field enough, did enough for me to feel confident and comfortable to say, hey, this is the clear handcuff, at least right now, over Taj Brooks. When you look at what he did, he played 28% of the snaps compared to Taj Brooks who played 3%.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Perine's 28% snap share and pass-game role make him a reliable handcuff to Brown.

Samaj Perine is a veteran handcuff to Chase Brown for the Texans, playing 28% of snaps versus Taj Brooks' 3% in Week 1. Perine ran 8 routes, was targeted 3 times, caught all 3 for 30 yards, and rushed 5 times for 20 yards (50 all-purpose yards). The source views him as a trustworthy safety valve in the pass game and a player who holds up in pass protection. If Chase Brown goes down, Perine would get a decent workload and be fantasy-viable as a starter. Spend 0–1% FAAB.
