Michael Penix Jr.

Good matchup this week — Carolina struggles against the pass and Penix has real targets, so he’s worth picking up if you need a short-term fill-in. But he can be shaky under pressure and had a quiet game last week, so don’t bench a reliable starter for him.

Start Penix — he threw a lot in Week 1 and has playmakers, so he’s likely to score points. But check the injury report and if London or Mooney are out (or listed inactive), sit him and pick someone safer.

Start Penix — he's the Falcons' confirmed starter, ended last season throwing well, and faces a matchup that could be high-scoring. But the offensive line looks shaky, he’s had few preseason reps, and a receiver is questionable, so if your team only starts one quarterback and you have a safer option, consider sitting him and watch injury/news before kickoff.

Draft him in the late rounds as a bench quarterback, not your weekly starter. He might start for the team but doesn’t run much and can miss short throws, so grab him as a cheap gamble.
