Penix's 80 points in two weeks masks pass-starved Falcons offense.

Penix has put up 80 points over the past two weeks, but the air yards situation remains bleak for Falcons pass catchers; the Falcons are 13 percent below their expected pass rate and 25th in early-down pass rate under Penix, establishing the run hard enough to create insufficient air yards for fantasy starters.
