2023 Fantasy Outlook
Penny might have the worst injury luck of any running back in memory, and misfortune struck again Week 5 last season after what was an otherwise blazing start with the Seahawks. If he has any hope for improved injury luck/durability moving forward, it lies in the fact that he seems to get hurt a different way each time rather than struggling through a chronic condition. The most recent injury was a broken fibula, simply the result of a defender landing awkwardly on his leg. The most enduring durability concern with Penny pertains to the ACL tear he suffered late in 2019, which might have included meniscus damage and could portend cartilage concerns if so. Penny's gifts are otherwise beyond dispute, with the 2018 first-round pick averaging 5.7 yards on 337 NFL carries after a brilliant career at San Diego State. Playing behind an elite Philadelphia offensive line could make Penny even more explosive yet, and it's not as if teammate D'Andre Swift has any shortage of durability concerns himself. Penny carries unique risk and upside both. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Non-factor for new team
Penny finished the season with 11 carries for 33 yards in three regular-season games, adding one catch for five yards.
ANALYSIS
Penny entered the season with a fair amount of hype, as he had a potentially large share of the carries for a productive offense available to him if he could finally stay healthy. Injuries were in fact not a problem for Penny this season, but rather than competing for the No. 1 job, he spent the year as the Eagles' fourth running back and was a healthy scratch in all but three games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could make team debut in Week 2
Penny could be in position to make his Eagles debut Thursday against the Vikings, as Kenneth Gainwell will likely miss the game due to a rib injury, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles made Penny a healthy inactive in the Week 1 win over the Patriots while Gainwell, D'Andre Swift and Boston Scott dressed as the team's top three backs. Penny hasn't contributed much as a pass catcher while frequently battling injuries over the course of his career, but he averaged a robust 5.7 yards per carry over his five seasons in Seattle. He would seem to have significant upside on the ground if given a sizable workload Week 2 behind Philadelphia's stellar offensive line.

It only took four years, but Penny finally looked like a first-round pick for a good stretch of 2021.
Out of the gate it seemed like it was going to be another lost season for the oft-injured back, as
a thigh injury limited him in the preseason before a Week 1 calf strain sent him to IR. Upon his
return he was used sparingly, but eventually the Seahawks had nowhere else to turn after Chris
Carson went down and Alex Collins struggled. Penny then erupted for 137 rushing yards and
two touchdowns Week 14 against the Texans, kicking off a stretch with 671 rushing yards (7.3
YPC) and six TDs over Seattle's final five games. Injuries and lost development time prevented
him from ever becoming a reliable receiving option, but Penny's speed and power both seemed
to be back during the late-season tear, and he showed good vision and patience as well. The
Russell Wilson trade changed the face of the Seattle offense, but Penny signed a one-year
contract to stick around and try to prove last season's performance wasn't a fluke. The team may not be convinced, as the Seahawks used a second-round pick on Kenneth Walker out of
Michigan State, giving Penny some real competition now that Carson is no longer in the backfield mix.
