Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny (COVID) back, Ken Walker (hernia) feeling better

Aug 31, 2022

Ken Walker III's chances of returning for Week 1 from his hernia procedure still sound up in the air. Rashaad Penny (COVID) was back today.

Fantasy Impact:

Carroll said of Walker: "He feels way better. He’s moving around. He was throwing the football around today. It’s just going to be one day at a time." Per Henderson in the past, Penny is “in the driver’s seat” to be the team’s starting back, but Penny has missed 28 of a possible 65 games in his four-year career, so durability just hasn’t been there. He led the league in yards after contact per attempt and was 15th in broken tackles per attempt. He will probably begin the season as the starter, but Walker is waiting in the wings.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
