Another new addition to the Philadelphia backfield is former Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny. Unlike Swift who's more of a satellite back with more limited between-the-tackles rushing ability, Penny's skill set is more in line with that of 2022 Eagles starter Miles Sanders, who rushed for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns this past season. Sanders was not utilized much in the passing game, but was a good enough runner to justify seeing 259 rushing attempts - far surpassing his previous career high.
Penny is a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option. The high risk comes from his history of injuries. The high reward comes from his ability to generate explosive plays on the ground, as he's been one of the most efficient running backs in the league when he's been healthy. He could deliver some huge games for fantasy owners, especially in games where the Eagles get out to an early lead and end up relying heavily on their rushing attack to close out games. Unfortunately, quarterback Jalen Hurts could also steal a good number of goal-line carries from the Penny and Swift backfield, but he did that quite often in 2022 and Miles Sanders was still able to get into the end zone 11 times, so don't be too scared off by Hurts' presence.
The big question is, can Penny stay healthy? He played just five games in 2022 and he hasn't played in more than 10 games in a season since his rookie year back in 2018. It's a gamble that fantasy owners will have to assess strongly, but if you're willing to take the risk, he could be a great value pick given that he's being selected beyond pick 100 and outside RB3 range in most fantasy drafts.

 Kenneth Gainwell ruled Out for Week 2
Rib injury
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 13, 4:12 pm
|  | The Eagles have ruled out CB James Bradberry (concussion), RB Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) and S Reed Blankenship (ribs). DT Fletcher Cox (ribs) is questionable. (Andrew Krammer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Gainwell operated as the lead back for the Eagles in Week 1, playing 62% of the snaps. This could open the door for D'Andre Swift and perhaps Rashaad Penny who was inactive. Boston Scott is still in mix as well, but Swift is the most likely to be the biggest beneficiary of this news.
| Rashaad Penny expected to be a healthy scratch
Eagles making touch decision at RB
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Sep 10, 12:05 pm
| | Running back Rashaad Penny is expected to be a healthy scratch today against the Patriots, league sources tell me and
@jctsports.
Penny, a five-year veteran with a career 5.7-yard rushing average, signed with the Eagles as a free agent in the offseason. (Olivia Reiner on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This comes as a big of a surprise, but does give a bit of a boost to D'Andre Swift's outlook against the Patriots today. Expect Kenneth Gainwell to be in the mix and Boston Scott to be active.
