Should I Start Trevor Penning?

Friday, August 29, 10:50 AM

New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Trevor Penning (toe) is out of a walking boot for the first time since being sidelined by turf toe on August 10, according to Matthew Paras of nola.com. Saints head coach Kellen Moore said that Penning is progressing well on his rehab, but would not commit either way on his status for Week 1. A former first-round pick back in 2022, Penning was moved from right tackle to left guard heading into training camp. Dillon Radunz has been filling Penning's spot at guard in his absence. Radunz was graded as the 112th-best run-blocking guard (out of 136 qualified players) by Pro Football Focus for his work in 2024, so Saints running back Alvin Kamara may be the most heavily impacted fantasy-relevant player if Penning misses regular-season games.
