From the article

Penix had scored more than 20 fantasy points in each of his two previous starts before Sunday's disaster. In Week 9, he'll get a potential shootout against Joe Burrow and the Bengals, and weather won't be a problem — he'll be at home in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Bengals are giving up 304.4 passing yards per game and 7.6 yards per pass attempt, and the high-flying Cincinnati passing game might force Penix to take to the skies frequently in order to keep up.

Penix rebounds with shootout potential vs. Bengals; 20+ PPG in prior 2 starts.

Michael Penix Jr. is worth picking up despite a ghastly Week 8 performance (8-of-24, 125 yards, 0 TDs, 4 INTs) against the Buccaneers in wet weather that nuked passing attacks for both teams. Penix had scored more than 20 fantasy points in each of his two previous starts before Sunday's disaster. In Week 9, he gets a potential shootout against Joe Burrow and the Bengals at home in Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium where weather won't be a problem. The Bengals are giving up 304.4 passing yards per game and 7.6 yards per pass attempt, and their high-flying passing game might force Penix to take to the skies frequently to keep up. True value is $1, desperate need $2, budget-minded $0.
