  Cardinals | Elijhaa Penny may be FB    Mon Jul 2, 02:34 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Elijhaa Penny is expected to be more of a fullback in the team's new offensive scheme but could receive some work as a running back.

Footballguys view: Nobody is taking reps away from David Johnson, so Penny is better off playing fullback because it gives him a better chance to stick on the roster. It can't hurt for Johnson to have an extra Blocker on inside runs either. Johnson is going to be a top fantasy back yet again this year.

  Cardinals | Elijhaa Penny to assume utility role    Fri May 4, 12:27 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Elijhaa Penny is reportedly making the transition from backup running back to a role in which he will play some fullback, H-back and tight end while maintaining his usual special teams duties.

Footballguys view: The Cardinals are changing things up in the backfield behind starter David Johnson, and fantasy owners who love to handcuff need to take notice. We expect rookie fourth-round pick Chase Edmonds to be the primary backup behind Johnson in 2018. Penny may have a difficult time transitioning to more of a blocking role at 235 pounds.

  Cardinals | Elijhaa Penny to have role in offense    Fri Sep 15, 08:17 PM

Arizona Cardinals RB Elijhaa Penny is expected to have a role in the offense in Week 2 against the Indianapolis Colts with RB David Johnson (wrist) on the shelf.

Footballguys view: Undrafted out of Idaha in 2016, Penny spent his rookie season on the Cardinals practice squad. He's a big back (6'2" 230 pounds) who can be used as a receiver out of the backfield in addition to a grinder between the tackles. Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians has previously stated Penny did a good job on the scout team in 2016. Penny is a deep dynasty prospect we've been monitoring, but it may be difficult for him to get mixed into action on Sunday as he's fourth on the depth chart behind Kerwynn Williams, Andre Ellington and Chris Johnson.
