2024 Fantasy Outlook
Perryman spent the first six seasons of his career with the Chargers before bouncing between the Raiders and Texans over the ensuing three seasons with varying degrees of success. As had been the case during his previous time with the Bolts, the veteran was oft injured ultimately missing 12 games over the past three seasons. With little depth behind rookie third-round pick Junior Colson, Perryman's second stint with the Chargers will be pivotal in keeping a ragtag run defense afloat. Read Past Outlooks
Active versus Tennessee
Perryman (toe) is active for Sunday's game versus the Titans, Kris Rhim of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Perryman managed to play through a toe injury during last week's win over the Browns and will attempt to do so again Sunday. If he ends up being limited by the injury at all, Nick Niemann would likely see increased playing time.

The Texans targeted Perryman this offseason as they continue their effort of signing experienced defensive players to short-term deals. It's unclear exactly what he'll offer, as he has struggled to remain on the field consistently, playing more than 12 games only three times in his eight-year career. We got a glimpse of his upside in 2021, when he racked up 154 tackles across 15 contests. Perryman should get every chance to do that again in 2023 as a starting outside linebacker, and perhaps he can produce while paired with defensive-minded head coach DeMeco Ryans. However, given his inability to stay on the field and the fact that he's entering his age-30 season, a cautious outlook is prudent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reunion in LA?
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports Saturday that the Chargers are in discussion with Perryman on a reunion.
ANALYSIS
After playing with the Chargers for the first six years of his NFL career, Perryman suited up for the Raiders in 2021 and posted a career-best 154 tackles over 15 games. His numbers dipped in 2022 and he spent last season with the Texans, for whom he posted 76 tackles, including 0.5 sacks. Perryman would add veteran experience to the Chargers' linebacker corps and would figure to start alongside Nick Niemann.
