Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. went 12-for-28 for 177 yards and one touchdown against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10. He also lost a fumble during the game.
Huddle Up: Penix was not able to find a lot success in the passing game this week and was held under 200 yards for the third time this season. He will be facing the Carolina Panthers next week and may be a possible starting option in two-quarterback leagues.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. completed 22-of-37 passes for 221 yards, a career-high three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 9 against the New England Patriots, while running twice for 19 yards.
Huddle Up: Penix returned from a knee injury to be very effective against a good defense on the road, and it was a game the Falcons probably should have won if not for kicking woes. Still, Penix should be treated as a QB2 in most leagues heading into Week 10.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. will start in Week 9 versus the New England Patriots, after having missed Week 8's game against the Miami Dolphins due to a knee injury.
Huddle Up: Penix was removed from the injury report Friday, Oct. 31, after logging two limited practice sessions and one full session during the week. He has a difficult matchup versus the New England defense and should only be a starting option in two-quarterback fantasy leagues.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
Huddle Up: Penix is set to return to the lineup after a one-game absence but will be facing a good New England Patriots defense. He could be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues but can be avoided in standard leagues.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
Huddle Up: Penix appears to have a decent chance to play this week, but fantasy players will know more about his status in the next day or two. He has had some solid games this season but has thrown at least two touchdowns in only one game. He can be avoided in standard leagues if he plays but could be a possible option in some two-quarterback leagues.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29, as he makes his way back from a knee injury.
Huddle Up: Penix missed the Week 8 debacle against the Miami Dolphins due to the knee, as Kirk Cousins started. Coach Raheem Morris said Penix would take a bulk of the reps in practice this week, which appears to be good news heading into the Week 9 game. However, if you normally rely upon Penix as a QB2 in fantasy leagues using two signal callers, or you need Penix as a bye-week replacement, double-check Friday when the official injury designations come out. We'll know more about his status then.

Atlanta Falcons DE Leonard Floyd (hamstring), DL Zach Harrison (knee) and WR Casey Washington (back) did not practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is expected to receive the bulk of the repetitions in practice this week, according to head coach Raheem Morris.
Huddle Up: That sounds very much like he'll be back in Week 9 against the New England Patriots. He'll be a QB2 option in fantasy.
