3 years agoSeattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer (illness) was added to the COVID-19 reserve along with cornerback D.J. Reed, tackle Brandon Shell, edge Kerry Hyder Jr., and a couple of practice squad players. Now, with running back Alex Collins previously on the COVID list, Rashaad Penny will have to split the backfield with previous fourth-stringer DeeJay Dallas. Therefore, in his Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks have little choice but to award Penny with the bulk of the touches. Coming off of his best game of his career with 137 rushing yards, fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting the former first round pick, especially with the Rams' defense also being depleted by a COVID outbreak. Furthermore, this performance will also be extremely telling for Penny's future; if he plays well, this could be the start of a breakout.--Jordan Eisen
