Rashaad Penny Fantasy

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he expects running back Rashaad Penny (knee) to begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Penny needed reconstructive knee surgery after injuring himself in early December against the Rams. If he were to start the season on the PUP, Penny would have to sit out the first six games. The former first-round pick started riding a stationary bike on Feb. 12, but he has a long ways to go in his rehab. With the oft-injured C.J. Prosise hitting free agency, Travis Homer could be the direct backup to Chris Carson to open the 2020 season if Penny isn't ready to go.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee), whose 2019 season ended in early December when he suffered a torn ACL, said he got back on an exercise bike earlier this week. The 24-year-old second-year back is ahead of schedule in his recovery, but he still might be a question mark to be ready for Week 1 in 2020. The former first-round pick could be a candidate for the Physically Unable to Perform list if he's not ready, which would keep him out the first six weeks. In 10 games for Seattle last year, Penny had 65 carries for 370 yards and three scores. If he can stay healthy for a full season, Penny has the skills to be relevant in all point-per-reception leagues. Monitor his progress this spring and through the summer.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is undergoing ACL surgery on Friday, according to a source. The surgery is being performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine. Penny is expected back for the 2020 season, but he might be cutting it close depending on how he bounces back over the summer. His injury came at a really bad time for both Penny's fantasy owners and the Seahawks, as he was just starting to carve out standalone value as a PPR flex alongside Chris Carson. With Penny now out of the picture, Carson's workload is once again safe and he should be a must-start this weekend against the Cardinals.
