Rashaad Penny Fantasy Stats

The Carolina Panthers have placed running back Rashaad Penny on the reserve/retired list. Penny, who joined the Panthers this offseason, was set to reunite with head coach Dave Canales, the passing game coordinator during Penny's standout 2021 season with the Seattle Seahawks, and Brad Idzik, now the Panthers' offensive coordinator. Unfortunately, a series of injuries including multiple strains, a torn ACL, and a fibula fracture have hindered Penny's once-explosive performance. Despite rigorous rehab, he struggled to regain the speed that made him a dynamic force in college. Penny's 5.6 yards per carry would be the highest in NFL history if he had sustained it. He also recorded 2,248 rushing yards at San Diego State in 2017, ranking fifth for a single season in NCAA history. The former first-round pick had stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles before signing with the Panthers in May. Penny retires with 1,931 career rushing yards, 13 touchdowns on 348 carries, and 28 receptions for 227 yards.

Free-agent running back Rashaad Penny plans to sign an undisclosed deal with the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. The former first-round pick will reunite with head coach Dave Canales from their time together with the Seattle Seahawks. Penny will likely officially sign after the team's rookie minicamp, which wraps up on May 12. The 28-year-old from San Diego State was the 27th overall pick in 2018. Penny spent the first five years of his career in Seattle, displaying home run-hitting ability on the ground but struggling to stay healthy, appearing in just 42 games (11 starts). He played in just three games with the Eagles in 2023 and had only 11 carries for 33 yards. Penny will be joining another crowded backfield in Carolina that already consists of Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders and rookie Jonathon Brooks, so he's not going to be on the fantasy radar.

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly visited with unrestricted free-agent running back Rashaad Penny on Wednesday. Seattle is pretty familiar with Penny after taking him with the 27th overall pick in the 2018 draft out of San Diego State. The 28-year-old flashed moments of brilliance in the first five seasons with the Seahawks but just was never able to stay healthy enough to stay on the field for long stretches. Penny averaged 5.7 yards per carry with 1,918 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 337 carries in Seattle while also catching 27 passes for 222 yards and another score. He had his smallest role yet with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023, carrying the ball 11 times for 33 yards in three regular-season games. A move back to Seattle would have Penny serving as backfield depth behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (coach's decision) and free safety Reed Blankenship (groin) are inactive for Monday night's wild-card playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Penny was an interesting pickup for the Eagles in the offseason, but due to their crowded backfield, the 27-year-old was a complete non-factor in his first year with the team and finished the regular season with just 11 rushing attempts for 33 yards while catching one pass for a five-yard gain in three games played. He was active in the Week 18 regular season finale against the New York Giants, but the last time before that he was active was in Week 9. Blankenship was injured last week and didn't practice at all during the week. The 24-year-old's absence is even more bad news for an Eagles defense that collapsed at the tail end of the regular season.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Just months after signing a contract with Philadelphia, the ex-Seahawks has been relegated to the No. 4 running back role. The 27-year-old has logged offensive snaps in just two games this season, rushing five times for 17 yards on the ground.

Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson (groin) and running back Rashaad Penny (coach's decision) are inactive for Week 12 versus the Buffalo Bills. Johnson was a late addition to the injury report on Sunday after self-reporting soreness. He underwent additional testing pregame and was deemed unable to play. Jack Driscoll is projected to start in his absence. Meanwhile, Penny is a healthy scratch for the second week in a row and eighth time this season. Boston Scott, who is not on the fantasy radar, will remain the Eagles' No. 3 running back behind D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny is inactive as a healthy scratch on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. Penny was active for just the second time in 2023 in Week 9, but he ended up playing just two offensive snaps and had two carries for eight yards in the win over the Dallas Cowboys. He was mainly active in that contest because Boston Scott was away from the team due to personal reasons. Scott is now back and will serve as Philly's No. 3 running back on Monday night behind D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell. Penny is back to being the No. 4 for the Eagles and is completely off the fantasy radar.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny is active for just the second time this season. He'll suit up against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday with Boston Scott sidelined due to personal reasons. Penny's only game experience this season came back in Week 2 when he totaled 14 scrimmage yards. Given his role as the No. 3 running back in Philadelphia, Penny can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's matchup against the Miami Dolphins. D'Andre Swift, Kenneth Gainwell, and Boston Scott are active, so there wasn't room for anyone else. Penny has appeared in just one game during the 2023-24 campaign, so it's unlikely there are many fantasy managers upset with the latest update.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. For the fourth time this season, the veteran running back is a healthy scratch. Boston Scott will be active as the Eagles' No. 3 option behind D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell.
