2022 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Sharing backfield with Swift now
The Eagles traded for D'Andre Swift on Saturday to join Penny in their new-look backfield, NBC Sports Philadelphia's Dave Zangaro reports.
ANALYSIS
The Eagles gave up a 2025 fourth-rounder and a 2023 seventh-round pick swap (No. 219 for No. 249) in exchange for Swift, who missed either three or four games each year with the Lions and has one season remaining on his rookie contract. Penny's career also has been massively impacted by injuries, which is why the Eagles got away with paying only $1.35 million (on a one-year contract) for a 2018 first-round pick with a career average of 5.7 YPC. Penny typically has missed large chunks of time -- including last season after he suffered a fibula fracture Week 5 -- whereas Swift has dealt with less serious, nagging injuries that have sometimes impacted his workloads even when active. The two should complement each other well for however long they're both healthy, with Penny relying on size, speed and power while Swift gets it done with agility and receiving. In fact, Swift caught at least 46 passes each season in Detroit, nearly double Penny's career total of 27 receptions in 42 games. There's room for both to have fantasy value in a prolific offense like Philadelphia's, though QB Jalen Hurts took 48.8 percent of the inside-the-five carries last season even while missing two games. Penny should be a participant in OTAs this May, having declared himself fully healthy shortly after he signed in mid-March.

2018
It's getting harder and harder to remember what the Seahawks saw in Penny when they selected him near the end of the first round in 2018 (ahead of Nick Chubb, among others). Three years into his NFL career, Penny has missed a total of 21 games due to injury, including 13 last season, and when he did get back on the field late in 2020 he did little to suggest any kind of breakout was coming. Assuming he's ever 100 percent again, the San Diego State product has NFL size and 4.46 speed, and while the development of his third-down skills has been hampered by all the time he's missed, he could still be an effective early down option and a useful complement to Chris Carson, who is himself showing the wear and tear of a physical running style. Seattle declined the fifth-year option on Penny's contract this offseason, so he'll get one more chance to prove the organization didn't make a huge mistake when it drafted him.
