Michael Penix Jr. Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Fri, May 30th 2025, 1:20pm EDT

Michael Penix heads into the 2025 season as the Falcons' unquestioned starting quarterback after sitting behind Kirk Cousins for most of the 2024 season. Penix did make three late-season starts, completing 58% of his throws in those games, averaging 245.7 passing yards per game and 7.4 yards per attempt, with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Penix is a pocket passer who doesn't offer much rushing upside, but he has a powerful and accurate arm. He led FBS in passing yardage in each of his final two college seasons at Washington. Penix has the potential to return a small profit on his low-end QB2 price tag.
