Heading into his third season as a pro, running back Rashaad Penny will almost certainly start the season on the PUP list after suffering a gruesome ACL & meniscus tear in Week 14 of the 2019 season.
A former first round NFL Draft pick, Penny has been one of the few backs with first round draft capital who has not produced at least some sort of useful fantasy numbers two years into his professional career. Penny has been banged up and stuck behind a surprisingly effective Chris Carson on Seattle's depth chart, but there's no question that he's been a huge bust given the investment that the Seahawks put into him.
Sadly, Penny might not even be the primary backup for Carson as Carlos Hyde is now on the roster. Certainly Penny offers more upside if he does end up being fully healthy, though, so there's still some hope that he may have some fantasy value. Penny was effective when given an opportunity in 2019, as he scored a total of four touchdowns while producing over 100 total yards per game in all three games that he was given at least 10 touches.
It's hard to argue that he's not the most physically talented back on the roster, but Seattle simply has not given him the type of touches that he'd need to be a serious option in normal fantasy leagues for now.
Penny is not worth drafting in standard fantasy leagues but his value might never be lower in dynasty, so it's worth shooting an offer to the owner of Penny in your league to see if you can get him as a throw-in in a trade. It's also worth considering that Penny might find himself on another roster in 2021, or even potentially get traded in 2020 which would probably help his fantasy outlook.

Seahawks bring in RB Carlos Hyde
One-year deal

FFToday's Take: Hyde will turn 30 this and play in a backup role to Chris Carson as Rashaad Penny (knee) is expected to begin the season on the PUP list. The same one-year deal was reportedly offered to Devonta Freeman but he turned it down. Hyde is coming a 1000-yard season in Houston finishing as the RB28 in PPR leagues. He'll be a late-round flier in redraft leagues.
