Michael Penix Jr. Dynasty Value

The Falcons fired HC Raheem Morris, according to multiple reports. Atlanta went 8-9 in each of Morris' two seasons, failing to reach the playoffs either year. OC Zac Robinson will likely be gone, too, although that hasn't been confirmed. The Falcons have elite offensive building blocks in RB Bijan Robinson and WR Drake London, plus an above-average offensive line. The defense flashed at times this season, even though it tailed off over the second half. QB is the big question mark for this team going forward after Michael Penix's season ended with yet another knee injury. We'll see who the Falcons tab to replace Morris and Robinson, but this team certainly has upside in 2026 and beyond.

Update: The Falcons also fired GM Terry Fontenot.

Falcons QB Michael Penix will undergo surgery on his ACL next week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Penix's recovery is expected to take about nine months, which will push into August. That means Penix will miss all of the offseason program and at least some of training camp. HC Raheem Morris admitted this week that the team will need to address the QB position this offseason. "You definitely have to go out and make some different plans when you talk about the offseason, but we'll talk about that and address that when we get there," Morris said. The Falcons don't have a first-round pick in the 2026 draft after trading it to the Rams to move up for EDGE James Pearce Jr.
