FantasyPros Articles on Michael Penix Jr.

Penix is a low-end QB2 against elite 49ers pass defense after one strong game.

Michael Penix is QB21 in fantasy points per game after having a banner Week 6 as QB5 in weekly scoring. Among 33 qualifying passers, Penix ranks third in yards per attempt, 11th in CPOE, 30th in highly accurate throw rate, 21st in catchable target rate, and tenth in hero throw rate. Last week was his first game of the season with more than 15 fantasy points, and the source does not see a standout performance in the cards for Week 7. The 49ers pass defense has been electric this season (ninth-fewest yards per attempt allowed, ninth-lowest passing success rate, 13th-lowest EPA per dropback), making Penix a low-end QB2 for this week.
