Michael Penix Jr. has produced back-to-back QB1 finishes for the first time in his career, throwing for 229 yards and three touchdowns against the Bears in Week 6, followed by 212 passing yards and three scores against the 49ers in Week 7. He's accumulated six touchdowns in his last two contests. Penix operates at a 6.3 touchdown rate (fifth among QBs with four-plus starts; league average 4.6), ranks third in adjusted yards per attempt (8.2), and seventh in Explosive Rating (110.6). He's won three of five starts and has the offense averaging 0.097 EPA per play (seventh-best mark). While not yet in must-start territory, if this run continues, fantasy managers may need to take him seriously. His playoff schedule softens considerably with matchups against the Commanders, Buccaneers, and Saints.
