Yahoo Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden on Michael Penix Jr.

VideoWeek 7 Fantasy Football WR Rankings (Top 42)October 23, 2026

From the video

Michael Penn's former head coach, the guy who drafted him, calling a defense against him. And it's a quarterback who has obvious flaws out there. Um, I mean, 42% of Michael Penn's throws are 10 or more yards down the field. That's fourth in the league. And the 49ers are fourth in the league at defending those.

Negative signalMatchup

Penix faces 49ers' elite deep-ball defense despite high deep-throw rate.

Falcons QB facing 49ers defense led by his former head coach; 42% of Penix's throws are 10+ yards downfield (fourth in league), but 49ers rank fourth in defending those throws with 41.5% completion allowed; struggles throwing short and under pressure; lacks second-chance creation, forcing immediate throws to first-read targets; 49ers created 9 sacks over last two weeks.
