He is the engine of that franchise now. He is the reason. Listen, I love that he's left-handed and it doesn't matter. He's just that much better than Tua. Michael Penix Jr. can sustain drives. Michael Penix Jr. can push the football out to the perimeter. He took over in week three. In week three, Atlanta beat Green Bay 35-14. They then beat New Orleans 45-24. They lost in overtime to Baltimore. They lost a close game to Chicago. And then they beat the San Francisco 49ers 29-20.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalProjection
Penix Jr. is Falcons' engine; vastly superior to Tua; waiver-wire gem in SF/2QB.
Matt Kelley praises Michael Penix Jr. as the engine of the Atlanta Falcons franchise, noting he is moving past his Kenny Pickett comparison and is significantly better than Tua Tagovailoa. Kelley highlights Penix's ability to sustain drives and push the football to the perimeter. Since taking over in week three, Penix has led Atlanta to wins over Green Bay (35-14), New Orleans (45-24), and San Francisco (29-20), with close losses to Baltimore and Chicago. Kelley notes Penix was available on waivers in 10-team super flex and two-QB leagues, and is rising in value.
