From the article

Michael Penix is the QB21 in fantasy points per game after having a banner Week 6 as the QB5 in weekly scoring... I don't see a standout performance in the cards for Penix for Week 7. The 49ers pass defense has been electric this season, allowing the ninth-fewest yards per attempt, the ninth-lowest passing success rate, and the 13th-lowest EPA per dropback. Penix is a low-end QB2 for this week.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Penix is low-end QB2 despite Week 6 surge; 49ers elite pass defense limits upside.

Penix is QB21 in fantasy points per game despite a strong Week 6 performance (QB5). The source notes his underlying metrics are mixed: third in yards per attempt and tenth in hero throw rate, but 30th in highly accurate throw rate and 21st in catchable target rate. San Francisco's elite pass defense (ninth-fewest yards per attempt, ninth-lowest passing success rate, 13th-lowest EPA per dropback) limits upside. Penix is projected as a low-end QB2 for Week 7.
