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

Penix led upset over 49ers with 25/34, 213 yards, 3 TDs in aggressive short-game scheme.

Led the Falcons to an upset victory over the 49ers with 25 completions on 34 attempts for 213 yards and three touchdowns (Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Nick Muse). Executed an aggressive short-game offensive scheme with 2.1-second average throw time on non-play-action attempts (similar to Tua's quick-hitting style), staying mostly in the pocket and throwing quickly with limited deep shots downfield; play-action attempts yielded the touchdown passes. The game plan was notably different from Penix's typical approach of holding the ball and throwing deep, featuring significant play-action usage that he executed well despite 49ers' defensive pressure.
