Rashaad Penny 2019 Outlook
As Fansided.com reminded readers, it was a bit of a shock when Seattle selected Penny in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Maybe they weren't expecting the surprising rebound of Chris Carson after his season-ending injury in 2017. Carson's play easily overshadowed Penny, who did overcome some early injuries to appear in 14 games. But at times, he wasn't even considered the team’s RB2 with Mike Davis earning snaps ahead of him. Penny's first touchdown finally came in Week 10, and he finished the season with 419 yards (4.9 average) and two touchdowns. He averaged seven carries per game over the second half of the season. The good news? Davis joined the Bears in free agency, so Penny will now be the clear No. 2 on the depth chart. And in this offense, that's worth something. In case you missed it, the Seahawks were the No. 1 rushing offense in the NFL in 2018, averaging 160 yards per game with 15 rushing touchdowns. They ran the ball 534 times last season. Heading into 2019 with a full offseason to prepare, Penny should be better positioned to contribute in all facets of the game, but drafting him based on expectations of a vastly increased role would be unwise.
Rashaad Penny 2018 Outlook
At No. 27 overall in April's NFL Draft, the Seahawks grabbed Penny out of San Diego State. NFL.com called it the "most surprising pick" of the NFC West. "Penny's a three-down back with solid size and plus speed (4.46-second 40-yard dash)," the NFL.com assessment read. "This is good. But a typical running back's NFL shelf life is limited -- especially one who runs hard and runs high. Thus, this usage of a first-round pick feels like a win-now move." But the assessment continued: "The offensive line remains discomforting. (Not ideal for a rookie running back). Meanwhile, the once-elite defense is in the midst of an overhaul, up front and in the secondary. A first-round pick is a statement of intent, a signal as to where a franchise believes it stands." For GM John Schneider and his Seahawks, improving the run game was paramount heading into this season. The running backs were less-than-effective last year, with QB Russell Wilson finishing 2017 as the team's leading rusher. With a new offensive line coach in Mike Solari, changes and upgrades planned for the big guys up front, and a fresh set of legs on Penny, Seattle's run game is arguably already improved before the first preseason snap. From a fantasy perspective, the volume for Penny should be there. Will the production?
