Giants' Elijhaa Penny: Minimal involvement in loss
Elijhaa 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 New York 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
Elijhaa 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 New York 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
Elijhaa 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 New York 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
Elijhaa Penny didn't record any touches in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs.Penny played just seven of the New York 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.

Elijhaa Penny carried nine times for 24 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.Penny operated as the New York 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.

Elijhaa Penny rushed twice for 16 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Browns.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 New York 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.
