No. 2 Rashaad Penny vs. Dallas

Penny had flashes against Chicago. He’s yet to really get his touches but against that stout Bears defense, Penny had multiple touches where he was a tough tackle on first down.

I think that bodes well against the Cowboys. Rookie backs have done alright against the Cowboys this year with No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley going for 108 yards on 26 carries Sunday night at Jerryworld.

Barkley also hauled in 14 receptions. Penny became a dual threat back at San Diego State putting up 15+ receptions and 150+ yards his last two seasons.

Against those Bears, Penny made the most of his touches with 30 yards on his 10 carries compared to just eight yards on seven carries against Denver. I like Penny to get more touches and make more out of them this week against the Cowboys.
