Michael Penix Jr. throws for 162 yards in Week 9
Michael Penix Jr. sets season-high with 50 rushing yards
In Week 9, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. delivered a solid performance, throwing for 162 yards on 20-of-32 attempts. He added a touchdown and an interception to his stat line, while also contributing 50 rushing yards on three carries. Although he fell short of 200 passing yards for the second week in a row, Penix managed to avoid turnovers, marking a positive shift from his four interceptions in the previous game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
As he heads into the Week 10 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, fantasy league analysts will likely keep Penix as a solid QB2 option.
