BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~63 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~79
ANALYSIS:
Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny finally broke out in 2021 after dealing with injuries and inconsistencies during his first three seasons. He set career-highs in rushing yards (749 yards), attempts (119), and touchdowns (six). The former first-round pick added six catches for 48 receiving yards over 10 games last year. Seattle had no choice but to give Penny the rock after Chris Carson (neck) went down and Alex Collins struggled.
The 26-year-old ended the season on a high note and won many fantasy managers a championship by erupting for 671 yards and six scores over his last five games. The Seahawks' offense will look different this year as the team traded away star quarterback Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos for multiple picks and Drew Lock this offseason.
Seattle drafted Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker with the 41st pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Geno Smith won the team's starting quarterback job during training camp, but he and Lock both are both a noticeable downgrade to the offense compared to Wilson.
Penny signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks this offseason and will compete with Walker for touches out of Seattle's backfield. The San Diego State Aztec is nursing a hamstring injury but recently said he feels "amazing."
With the status for Carson for Week 1 and beyond uncertain, and with Walker the only other top healthy option, Penny will look to prove last year's results were no fluke. He is currently 30th among all running backs in the latest Rotoballer rankings and could smash his ADP of 79 if Penny stays healthy and builds on last year's breakout.
