Rashaad Penny

So, as it turns out, Carson still retains the starting job, but Penny is much more involved. Carson totaled 24 touches against the Vikings that turned into 109 yards and a touchdown while Penny saw 19 touches that turned into 107 yards and a touchdown. There will not be 43 touches to go around every week. The good news is that there were 36 touches between them in the first meeting between these two teams. Carson totaled 123 yards and a touchdown in that game, while Penny finished with 51 total yards. The Rams have been the fifth-worst matchup for running backs from an efficiency standpoint, as they've allowed just 0.73 PPR points per opportunity. If we take away Christian McCaffrey's absurd performance in Week 1, they'd look even better. There's been just nine running backs all year who've finished better than the RB30 against the Rams, with eight of them totaling at least 15 carries. The Vikings were one of the best in the league against the run, so we surely aren't writing off these backs, but they both aren't going to finish as top-15 options again. Treat this as a 55/45 split until further notice, which makes Carson a low-end RB2 while Penny should be treated as a low-end RB3.

Rashaad Penny scores twice on Monday Night Football

Rashaad Penny rushed 15 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks' 37-30 Week 13 win over the Vikings, adding four catches for 33 yards and another score.

Fantasy Impact

It was a monster performance from Penny, who was a lot more involved following Chris Carson's Week 12 fumble. However, Carson still saw 23 carries himself as Seattle was able to run the ball a lot in this one. Carson is still the lead dog here, but Penny will be a low-end RB2/FLEX play entering the fantasy playoffs.
