The Eagles have taken a flier on former Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. It doesn’t seem to be a huge fantasy move (and maybe it won’t be), but anyone who could be the starting running back for the Eagles is worth at least a mention. And with Miles Sanders a free agent, Penny is interesting.
At least for now.
Penny has averaged 6.2 yards per attempt over the last two years. That included a bust-out second half of 2021 when he was a league winner in fantasy football. The problem, of course, is that Penny is rarely ever healthy. He’s been limited to a mere 42 games over his five seasons in the NFL, and he played in just five games last year because of injuries. That’s a trend that might never change for the veteran.
