Seahawks Beat: RB Rashaad Penny falls "further behind" Chris Carson

Aug 21, 2019

Seahawks beat reporter Joe Fann on Rashaad Penny, "I’m seeing a guy fall further behind Chris Carson, who has established himself as Seattle’s clear No. 1 option."

Fantasy Impact:

Fann doesn't think Rashaad Penny is in danger of losing his No. 2 job and believes he could still see 10 touches a game, but there's also no reason to think Penny has gained any ground on Chris Carson after a slow start. With a firm grip on the No. 1 running back job and the possibility for more receiving work, Carson continues to look like a strong play in fantasy this year.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

The Eagles list QB Jalen Hurts as DNP on their estimated practice report because of a concussion, putting his status for this weekend in doubt.

Related Players: Kenny Pickett

Fantasy Impact:

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
