Minimal involvement in loss Penny recorded one rush for two yards while catching all four of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Eagles.

Impact Penny, like the rest of the Giants' offense, couldn't find much success against a tough Eagles defense. His four catches in the passing game qualified as a team high, but the veteran's production was insignificant at best. As the team's fullback on a struggling offense, there just isn't enough opportunity for Penny to sustain any sort fantasy relevance.

Finds end zone in loss Penny recorded one rush for eight yards, while catching his only target for a three-yard touchdown in Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Penny made the most of his two touches, scoring his second touchdown of the year. Penny's role, however, will continue to be especially limited with Saquon Barkley back in the lineup. The 28-year-old will continue to operate as the Giants' fullback and likely find it difficult to produce much in the stat column when the Giants host the Cowboys in Week 15.

Gets work in relief Penny recorded five carries for 35 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Raiders. He added two receptions for minus-8 yards.

Impact Devontae Booker dealt with a hip injury late in the game but was seemingly cleared from a major injury after undergoing X-rays, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. However, his absence gave Penny the chance to take over the backfield to close the game in the fourth quarter. Penny was fairly productive in the role, picking up gains of four and 12 yards on a drive that concluded with a field goal to put the Giants up seven. However, the team now heads into a Week 10 bye, which should give both Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Booker the chance to get healthy while leaving Penny with a minimal role.

Not involved on offense Penny failed to record a single rush in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Penny played on just seven of the Giants' 60 offensive snaps Monday. Most of his work came on special teams, where he played 72 percent of snaps. Penny has been operating as the No. 2 running back behind Devontae Booker, but that hasn't translated into much fantasy value. With starter Saquon Barkley (ankle) nearing his return, Penny is best to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Ineffective in limited role Penny carried nine times for 24 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.

Impact Penny operated as the Giants' No. 2 running back behind Devontae Booker as Saquon Barkley misses time with an ankle injury. As the team's fullback, Penny will likely revert to a very limited role when Barkley returns, which could be as soon as Week 8.

Scores a short TD Penny had three carries for 15 yards and a score Sunday against the Rams. He also caught one of two targets for one yard.

OCTOBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Gets a few touches Penny rushed twice for 16 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Browns.

Impact Penny not only blocked for Devontae Booker and Corey Clement, but the fullback also got involved with a few touches for himself. Regardless of who starts in the Giants backfield Week 1, when star Saquon Barkley hopefully will be ready to go, Penny is anticipated to serve as their lead blocker, having been the team's fullback since 2018.

Impact Penny has been away from the Giants since Sunday, when he was made inactive ahead of the team's loss to the Ravens after picking up an illness. The Giants have clarified that the ailment isn't related to COVID-19, but Penny's ongoing absence from practice nonetheless casts some on his availability for the Week 17 matchup with the Cowboys. The fullback has handled a minor role on offense over his 14 appearances this season, playing no more than 14 snaps in any contest.

Still sidelined by illness Penny (illness) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact This illness is not related to COVID-19 but it's clearly no walk in the park, as it also kept Penny out of last week's loss to the Ravens. The fullback and special teams contributor will have two more chances to resume practicing before Sunday's showdown with the Cowboys.
