Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Michael Penix Jr.

PodcastQB News + Week 3 Sit/StartSeptember 23, 2026

From the episode

This is his first game coming back from a pretty significant season ending knee injury. He suffered last year. He didn't really get the benefit of kind of full training camp. So we should expect there to be some rust... I would though still expect Michael Pennix to be a diminished version of himself in his first start back from injury.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Pennix expected diminished in first start back from knee injury despite offensive improvement.

First game back from significant season-ending knee injury without full training camp; expect diminished version of himself in first start back from injury with some rust, though offense should improve relative to Cooper Rush.
