Rashaad Penny Fantasy

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with Seattle Seahawks free-agent running back Rashaad Penny on Tuesday, according to a source. With both Miles Sanders and Boston Scott being free agents this offseason, the Eagles have pounced on the injury-prone Penny. The 27-year-old was limited to only five games in his fifth year in Seattle in 2022 due to a broken left fibula and high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 5. It's unlikely the Eagles plan to rely heavily on the injury-riddled Penny as a bell-cow back, but if healthy, he'll have intriguing fantasy upside in Philly's offense. The former first-rounder has played in only 42 games over his five NFL seasons, but when healthy, he's averaged almost six yards per carry and can take the ball to the house anytime he touches the pigskin.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (leg) is facing a four-month recovery after he has surgery to fix a fractured fibula. On a one-year deal, he'll be healthy with plenty of time to take free-agent visits once he officially hits the open market next March. Penny will have surgery on Tuesday morning, but the MRI exam on his injured ankle came back relatively clean with no deltoid or associated issues. He will undergo tight-rope surgery and have his fibula plated to stabilize his ankle. Fantasy managers can safely drop the 26-year-old in single-year leagues. In his absence, rookie Kenneth Walker III will become the primary back in Seattle, with DeeJay Dallas stepping up for an elevated role behind him for the rest of the season.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (ankle, leg) suffered a broken fibula in the Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints and will miss the rest of the season, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Penny also suffered a high-ankle sprain. The oft-injured 26-year-old will undergo surgery on his leg. He'll finish the 2022 season with 57 carries for 346 yards (6.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while also adding four catches on five targets for 16 yards in five games played. Penny will enter free agency this winter with plenty of injury questions. In his absence, rookie Kenneth Walker III is now in line to take over lead-back duties in Seattle, with DeeJay Dallas also in line for more work as the No. 2. Walker will be one of the most popular waiver-wire pickups this week.
