Week 1: 298 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT; entering his first season as starter, Penix Jr. faces a tough Minnesota defense and must maximize rhythm and pocket presence.

Penix's favorable Week 1 results cooled in Week 2 against a Vikings defense that can pressure; he becomes a risk-adjusted pick for superflex, with a reduced upside in standard formats.

Penix Jr. offers solid Week 2 upside with a pass-heavy approach and a supporting cast that can push numbers, keeping him in the mid-range QB2 to solid Superflex territory.

Penix nearly willed the Falcons to victory, showing grit and high-leverage plays; a promising start that signals potential for Week 2 and beyond.

Penix Jr. leads the Falcons in Week 2; his rhythm and protection will shape the game plan. His health is tied to London/Mooney availability and the offense’s overall ceiling against the Vikings.
