Michael Penix Jr. Fantasy Overview

Falcons QB Michael Penix is expected to start Sunday's game vs. the Bears, barring a setback with his rib injury, HC Kevin Stefanski said. Penix has ignited Atlanta's offense with efficient passing the past 3 weeks, completing 67.5% of his throws at 9.3 yards per attempt. His availability is good news for all of the Falcons' skill-position players, particularly WR Drake London.

Falcons QB Michael Penix’s rib injury is not considered serious, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Penix "might" be able to play vs. the Bears this weekend, "but the team wants to be cautious and see him practice this week" before deciding on his status. Penix's absence would leave Tua Tagovailoa under center. We'll keep you updated on the situation throughout the week.

Falcons QB Michael Penix suffered a rib injury late in Sunday night's loss to the Ravens and missed overtime. Penix was optimistic afterward that he'd be ready for Week 6, but he's scheduled for an MRI on Monday to get a better look at the damage, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Falcons WR Drake London exploded for 9 catches and 194 yards in Thursday night’s win over the Packers. Amazing what viable QB play can do! After totaling just 6 catches and 80 yards from QB Cooper Rush over the first 2 games of the season, London got a nice outing from QB Michael Penix in his 2026 debut. Penix completed 18 of 25 passes (72%) for 256 yards (10.2 YPA), 1 TD, and 1 INT. London accounted for 40% of Atlanta’s targets, 36% of the receptions, and 76% of the receiving yards. A blown coverage led to a 68-yard catch-and-run early in the fourth quarter. Then London capped his night with a 40-yard contested catch over DB Evan Williams.
