2024 Fantasy Outlook
A first-round pick of the Seahawks in 2018, injuries have ruined Penny's career and he hasn't played more than 10 games in a season since he was a rookie. He seemed to be mostly healthy with the Eagles last year, but it was hard to tell as he got on the field in only three games. Penny has flashed some impressive ability on the rare occasions he's been available, and he averaged 6.2 yards per carry for Seattle in 2021-22. A free agent again, the 28-year-old might be able to earn another NFL opportunity given his upside and pedigree. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Officially lands with Carolina
The Panthers agreed to terms with Penny on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Penny is now 28 years old and spent last season in Philadelphia, where he appeared in just three regular-season games and was routinely a healthy scratch on game days. When healthy in Seattle from 2018-2022, he was electric with the ball in his hands, averaging a lethal 5.7 yards per carry on 337 rushing attempts, but an inability to stay on the field was his downfall. He has a history with new Panthers coach Dave Canales from their time together in Seattle, and Penny gives the Panthers backfield some more experience behind Chuba Hubbard and rookie Jonathon Brooks. There has been chatter that Miles Sanders' time may be running out with the team after just one season in Carolina.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely headed for Carolina
Penny plans to sign with the Panthers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal likely won't become official until after Carolina's rookie minicamp. Penny, a first-round pick of the Seahawks in 2018, has had trouble staying healthy throughout his career and hasn't played more than 10 games in a season since his rookie campaign. Joining the Panthers would reunite him with the team's new head coach Dave Canales, who was on Seattle's staff from 2018-2022.

2020
2019
2018
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.
