Rashaad Penny Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny may not get a ton of playing time, but he's certainly got his teammates on his side. Penny changed direction on a run and bounced it all the way to the other side of the line halfway through the third quarter. None other than Russell Wilson himself happened to be the only possible blocker hanging on that end of the line, so Wilson laid the wood as Penny scampered through the secondary and scored from 37 yards out. Penny tallied 25 more rushing yards on nine more carries, which wasn't terribly impressive, but he'll at least show up on highlight shows for being the lucky recipient of an elite QB clearing a path for him.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny made some appearances as a change-of-pace back on Sunday, but he didn't change the pace in any way. Instead, Penny rushed for an average of 3.0 YPC by totaling 18 yards on six carries (starter Chris Carson also averaged 3.0 YPC), and he wasn't targeted a single time through the air. The team seems dedicated to trying to find a way to get Penny involved and Carson is always an injury risk, but for now, Penny is a real home-run play on a week-to-week basis. He just isn't doing anything that is so impressive as to believe his situation is going to change anytime soon.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is No. 2 on the team's depth chart, but that doesn't mean much in head coach Pete Carroll's world. Penny was theoretically No.2 last season and was the team's first-round pick, but he regularly got passed by on game day with the team opting for a variety of other guys. Now, he's got C.J. Prosise to compete with. Prosise is usually injured, but he's surprisingly healthy at the moment and was electrifying in the preseason. It wouldn't be a shock if the team let Penny wallow on the bench while handing Prosise the ball whenever starter Chris Carson wasn't on the field. Seattle's coaches are just too unpredictable right now for fantasy owners to roll the dice on Penny.
