Michael Penix Jr. is dealing with an injury that could keep him sidelined for another month.NegativeRoleJul 6, 2026
Michael Penix Jr. is competing with Tua Tagovailoa for the Falcons starting job while recovering from his third ACL surgery. Penix has only played 14 games and 12 starts, making him inexperienced despite being a top-10 pick. If Penix starts, he will push the ball downfield more than Tua, creating different fantasy dynamics for Falcons receivers. The source leans slightly toward Penix starting but acknowledges it could go either way, with Tua potentially starting and Penix getting time to recover later in the season.
