ESPN Fantasy Football on Michael Penix Jr.

From the article

Penix scored a season-best 23.1 points in Atlanta's loss to the Chicago Bears, though he was neither accurate (57.6% completion rate) nor did he pile on the passing yards (225). Still, three touchdowns matter. While you probably would not rely on him in Week 7 against the San Francisco 49ers, looking ahead to Weeks 13-17? It's quite attractive.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Penix scored 23.1 PPG with three TDs; avoid Week 7 vs. 49ers, target later.

Penix scored a season-best 23.1 points in Atlanta's loss to Chicago with three touchdowns despite poor accuracy (57.6% completion) and limited passing yards (225); unfavorable Week 7 matchup vs. San Francisco, but Weeks 13-17 schedule is attractive.
