Seahawks say RB Rashaad Penny ready for Week 5

Sep 30, 2019

HC Pete Carroll says again that Rashaad Penny "will be ready to go this week.'' Says he had a hamstring strain.

Related players: C.J. Prosise, Chris Carson

Fantasy Impact:

The Seahawks said the same thing last week and then Penny was scratched for Week 4. Carson got back on track this past week with 22 runs for 102 yards and he also added four catches for 41 yards, but it was Prosise who got the TD. Even if Penny is active on a short week against the Rams Thursday, Carson should again get a bulk of the work.

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.

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.
