FantasyPros Articles on Michael Penix Jr.

Penix is mid-range QB2 despite recent QB1 outings; Bucs' defense tightening.

Penix is QB18 in fantasy points per game after ripping off back-to-back QB1 outings (QB5, QB8). Among 34 qualifying passers, he ranks seventh in yards per attempt, 11th in passing success rate, 17th in catchable target rate, and 16th in hero throw rate. The source notes he has played far better than anticipated this season and could log another QB1 outing this week, but it's better to view him as a mid-range QB2. Tampa Bay's pass defense has been rounding into form, allowing the tenth-fewest yards per attempt, the eighth-lowest passing success rate, the second-lowest EPA per dropback, and the 13th-lowest passing touchdown rate over their last five games.
