BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Just when it appeared that it was feasible to believe that Seattle's usage of running backs would have a consistent, understandable pattern, the distribution of 12 touches to Rashaad Penny in Week 10 eviscerated that possibility yet again. Chris Carson's most recent health issue (thigh) had vaulted Mike Davis into a lead back role in Week 9, and it was logical to expect a similar scenario in Week 10 when Carson was sidelined yet again.
However, even though Davis did lead the Seahawks in touches (15) Rashaad Penny resurfaced from a destination far beyond the fantasy landscape to accumulate 108 yards (9.0 YPC) and generate his first career touchdown. It was easily his best performance of the season, and his output has allowed him to rematerialize as a flex option. The only reason for hesitation when considering an investment in Penny is Pete Carroll’s propensity to alter the responsibilities of his backs at any moment.
