• Giants' Elijhaa Penny: Targeted twice in finale

  01/11/2022 • By RotoWire

  Penny failed to secure either of this two targets during the Giants' loss to Washington in Week 18. Penny finished the 2021 season with career-high marks across the board while appearing in all 17 games. He logged 24 carries for 99 yards and one score on the ground while also securing nine of 13 targets for 30 yards and another touchdown. The fullback is set to hit free agency at the end of the league year.

• Giants' Elijhaa Penny: Minimal involvement in loss

  12/27/2021 • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Giants' Elijhaa Penny: Finds end zone in loss

  12/15/2021 • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Giants' Elijhaa Penny: Gets work in relief

  11/08/2021 • By RotoWire

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

• Giants' Elijhaa Penny: Not involved on offense

  11/03/2021 • By RotoWire

  Penny didn't record any touches in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs. Penny played just seven of the Giants' 60 offensive snaps, with most of his work coming on special teams. He's been operating as the Giants' de facto No. 2 running back behind Devontae Booker for the past three weeks with Saquon Barkley (ankle) out, but that hasn't translated into much fantasy value. Barkley could be back in action as soon as Sunday's game against Las Vegas, so Penny's already meager role on offense will likely dwindle further from here.
