Starting QB at the end of 2026: Michael Penix Jr... Once Penix is back in the lineup, I'd expect a much more aggressive attack... If he's able to get under center by Week 4 and live up to his draft selection, I could see this team flirt with 9 wins, possibly 10.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Penix expected to start by season's end; aggressive offense and 9-10 win upside if healthy.

Named starting QB at end of 2026 by three predictors (Kevin Knight, Tre'Shon Diaz, Dave Choate); expected to return to lineup and trigger a much more aggressive offensive attack; his performance and health will be critical to determining whether the Falcons can compete; team is being set up for a potential 2027 QB addition unless Penix proves he's the future; if he gets under center by Week 4 and lives up to draft selection, team could flirt with 9-10 wins.
