Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine could steal the fantasy football spotlight for the second straight week after being elevated to a starting role for Sunday's road game against the Tennessee Titans.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor announced Friday that starting rusher Joe Mixon will miss the contest because of a concussion.
Mixon suffered the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 37-30 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Perine was already in the midst of a terrific performance.
The 27-year-old former University of Oklahoma standout—he set the FBS record with 427 rushing yards in a 2014 game with the Sooners—finished the victory over the Steelers with 82 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns.
