After posting 20 or more fantasy points in back-to-back games entering Week 8, Michael Penix managed to have a massive dud game against the Bucs. With all that said, this is a good bounce-back spot for Penix. Penix could return to solid QB2 production this week.

Penix's poor recent form sets up bounce-back against Cincy's weak pass defense.

Michael Penix had a massive dud against Tampa Bay (8-of-24, four interceptions, 5.2 yards per attempt) but faces a good bounce-back spot against Cincinnati. Overall, Penix ranks tenth in yards per attempt, 15th in passing success rate, 27th in highly accurate throw rate, and has the highest turnover-worthy throw rate among 30 qualifying passers. Cincinnati has allowed the seventh-most yards per attempt, ninth-highest passing touchdown rate, sixth-highest passing success rate, and 11th-most fantasy points per dropback over their last five games, positioning Penix to return to solid QB2 production.
