.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee), who has been ruled out for the first game of his career in Week 15 against the 49ers, doesn't appear to be dealing with a serious injury. His injury was discovered after the win on Monday night, and he will remain in Seattle this weekend to continue his rehab. Head coach Pete Carroll said an MRI exam didn't show anything significant, but the coach didn't specify what the injury was. The team isn't concerned that Penny will be out for an extended period. Penny's absence will mean more time for J.D. McKissic this weekend, but he won't be fantasy relevant behind Chris Carson and Mike Davis. McKissic has played just three snaps in two games since coming off Injured Reserve several weeks ago.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the 49ers. Penny's absence gives Chris Carson a clear look at lead duties this weekend, making him a strong RB2. Carson ran the ball 13 times for 69 yards and caught three passes for 39 yards on Dec. 2 against the Niners. Expect Mike Davis to be the change-of-pace/pass-catching back behind Carson this weekend, giving him some RB3/flex appeal in deeper formats.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) missed his second practice in a row on Thursday. His status for Week 15 against the 49ers is now in concern. If he doesn't at least get in a limited practice on Friday, Penny will be unlikely to play. As long as Chris Carson remains the lead back in Seattle, Penny will be unpredictable and hard to trust as an RB3/flex. If Penny sits out, Carson will be a stronger RB2 play.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) won't practice on Wednesday due to a sore knee. Head coach Pete Carroll doesn't seem too concerned. Penny has shown flashes in his rookie year, but it's been a frustrating year for the first-round pick because of a lack of consistent touches. He ran eight times for 44 yards on Monday night and hasn't caught a pass since Nov. 4. As long as Chris Carson is healthy, Penny is too hard to trust as a flex option.

.Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny was only credited with 44 yards on Monday night, but he ran much more than that. During his longest run, which was recorded as a 17-yard gainer, Penny went all the way from the left sideline to the right in order to find running room. Highlights later revealed that he covered 83 yards to gain those 17. Penny worked well in the backfield, averaging 5.5 YPC, and it wouldnt be surprising to see him continue to get an uptick in usage over the next few weeks to help balance the workload as the 8-5 Seahawks prepare for the playoffs.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) is active on Monday night against the Vikings. Penny saw a little more run in Week 13 with Chris Carson dislocating his index finger, rushing seven times for 65 yards and his second touchdown of the year. However, Carson is playing on Monday night and should remain the team's No. 1 backfield option, limiting Penny's ceiling as a risky RB3/flex. Mike Davis will also likely steal a few touches here and there in this three-headed attack in a tough matchup with Minnesota's defensive front.

.Despite practicing all week, Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night against the Vikings. Penny must have injured himself in practice on Saturday. Penny has been impressive here and there in his rookie season, but mostly when Chris Carson has been on the shelf. Carson will be the team's lead back once again in a touch matchup against Minnesota on Monday, so even if Penny plays, he'll be unlikely to put up big numbers as a weak RB3/flex in deeper leagues. If he's inactive, Mike Davis will see more change-of-pace duties behind Carson.

.Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny got the chance to show his skills against San Francisco, and he made good on the opportunity. With starter Chris Carson exiting early due to a finger injury, Penny carried the ball seven times for 65 yards and a touchdown. While the 49ers defense isnt very good against the pass, it had been stout against the run, so this performance will really excite fans and future fantasy owners. If Carson is unable to go next week, Penny could possibly be the go-to back. Unfortunately, he would draw the Vikings for that game, and their defense is a much different animal than San Franciscos.

Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer expects Penny to have a larger role in Seattle's game plan Sunday against the 49ers, Andy Patton of USA Today reports. "I expect that [Penny] will play well this weekend," Schottenheimer said. "Expect that we need to get the running game back going again and I think he'll be a big part of that."

.Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer hinted that rookie running back Rashaad Penny would have a bigger role in the offense in Week 13 against the 49ers. Penny was used frequently in Weeks 10 and 11 with Chris Carson banged up, but he carried the ball just four times for four yards and played only 10 offensive snaps in Week 12. I expect that he will play well this weekend, Schottenheimer said. Expect that we need to get the running game back going again and I think hell be a big part of that. The Niners allow an average of 103 yards per game on the ground, but Penny is still a lottery ticket in fantasy as an RB3/flex as long as Carson remains the lead back.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back looked like his time may have come after he broke off 108 yards against the division-rival Rams two weeks ago, but he was quickly relegated back to the backup role last week against Green Bay. With Chris Carson once again looking like he's going to be the workhorse, Penny's value returns to nothing more than a long shot who recently has a knack for breaking off some big runs. With head coach Pete Carroll playing games from week to week, it continues to be a bit of an unpredictable situation. Fantasy owners should only be starting Penny if they're truly desperate for a home run ball.

.Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny started Thursday night off with a highlight-reel run that will follow him for the rest of his career. Initially bottled up behind the line of scrimmage on the right-hand side of the offense, Penny churned, cut, and spun his way all the way back to the left side and out of harm's way to rumble for 28 yards before spinning to the turf. It was an incredible show of persistence and great reminder of the potential the rookie has, but it ended on a sour note as Penny sprained his ankle during the take down. Penny would initially leave the field, but he returned later for 17 more snaps. Unfortunately, he didn't look the same and only gained eight more yards on seven more carries. With JD McKissic and CJ Prosise returning, Penny's already hairy playing time situation will likely get worse, and the injury could put him out of commission for a while.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, who had his first 100-yard game and first touchdown of his career in Week 10 against the Rams, may see his role shrink significantly this Thursday against the Packers with Chris Carson (hip) expected to return from a one-game absence and start. Yeah, yeah, but when everybodys healthy, not everybodys going to get the ball a lot, head coach Pete Carroll said this week. Thats just the way it goes, so well figure that out." Penny was a hot waiver pickup this week, but temper expectations with Carson back in the fold. Penny didn't see an immediate increase in snaps after he scored for the first time on Sunday, so it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be heavily involved coming off his big game. Mike Davis might be third behind Penny now, but it doesn't mean you should be confident in using Penny as an RB3/flex on Thursday.

Coach Pete Carroll said Penny's workload is in jeopardy with Chris Carson (hip) returning for Thursday's game against the Packers, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny had by far his best game of the season in Week 10 against the Rams, rushing 12 times for 108 yards and the first touchdown of his career. In the first eight games, Penny had 146 yards on 42 carries (3.5 yards per carry). With Chris Carson out with an injury, head coach Pete Carroll said Penny "looked just like the guy we thought he would look like when we drafted him." It's unclear when Carson will be back, but Penny's performance in Week 10 likely earned him a bigger role even when Carson returns.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny got back in the mix this week after getting shut out against the Lions, and it wasn't just because starter Chris Carson left early. Penny made his first carry on the team's opening drive, showing that he was going to be included to some extent either way, but then Carson's absence allowed him to tack on a few extra touches. Penny still played second fiddle to Mike Davis, so there's no reason to suspect he'll be a central figure anytime soon, but it was nice to see him get to play a little. With Carson's injury history and Davis' history of being a mediocre back, Penny could still find his way into regular carries before the season ends.

Penny rushed four times for 11 yards and caught all three targets for 13 yards and zero touchdowns in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chargers.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny has seen his value crater this season as his workload has been unpredictable at best. That said, it may be time to play running back roulette in Seattle once again. Starter Chris Carson is questionable for this Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, and head coach Pete Carroll has seemed to pride himself on making the unlikely move. Last time Carson missed a game, third-stringer Mike Davis hopped Penny in the depth chart, carried the torch, and blazed his way over 100 yards. Now, Davis is the No.2, and Penny is coming off a week where he had zero offensive touches. Davis is the obvious replacement for Carson if he's out, but that may mean it's the perfect time for Penny to show up and show out. Only truly desperate owners should turn to Penny, but if one does and the chips fall right, he could be a stud this week.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny was left wanting on Sunday against Detroit as he was given no offensive touches. Last week in London, Penny found himself solidly in the mix, and he impressed, so the thought was that maybe the time had come for him to see more action. Head coach Pete Carroll quickly doused that thought this week by only using Penny on kickoff returns. Penny's rookie contract and potential make him an attractive long-term option, but this on-again/off-again game being played by Carroll makes Penny unownable for the time being.

Penny had zero touches during Sunday's 28-14 win over the Lions.

.Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny is getting the full range of options in the NFL so far. He struggled as the second-stringer at the start of the season, he struggled as the starter for a game, he was relegated to third-string and given no chances in a game, and then he was given a starring role by surprise. This uncertainty means Penny's performance from week-to-week is a bit of a crapshoot, but he touched the ball in 11 of the 13 times he was on the field in London and ran wild in those chances. That type of performance should be enough to garner him some touches this week against the generous Detroit defense, giving him some value in deep leagues. His finger injury appears to be no concern either, as he practiced in full on Thursday.

.It turns out rumors of Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny's demise were exaggerated. Thought to be firmly in the No. 3 spot on the depth chart, Penny shockingly racked up more carries than Mike Davis in London on Sunday. Penny still only carried the ball nine times while starter Chris Carson did the heavy lifting, but the opportunities showed that head coach Pete Carroll is still intending on keeping Penny in the mix. This is more a piece of bad news for Davis owners than a good one for Penny owners though, as a committee this unpredictable makes it impossible to have a dependable choice. Penny did look better in his chances though, so he should return to everyone's radar for the future.
