Per Ben Baby of ESPN, Bengals OC Brian Callahan said that if RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is out the team will use a committee approach with Samaje Perine and Chris Evans.
Fantasy Impact: Whether it’s Perine or Evans it seems like neither will be given the full Mixon workload if the Cincinnati starting RB misses any time. Ultimately this is why neither Perine or Evans can be reliable fantasy options and will be in the RB 2/RB 3 range as volume will not be guaranteed. It is worth noting however that Perine has out-touched Evans 12-3 so far on the year and does have the higher upside but will be limited in PPR formats as Evans is expected to handle pass-catching duties.
